Here's a question open for debate.

What are people's thoughts on players having flights paid for to fly into and out of Christchurch to play in games? Where does this fit in relation to players being 'paid' to play for clubs?

Regulations state

"(f) Travel and hotel expenses incurred through involvement in a match and the costs of a player’s equipment, insurance and training may be reimbursed without jeopardising a player’s Amateur status." 

So if Tech pay for BS to fly to games it's no different to any other club giving players petrol vouchers to travel to a game. If anything, the "petrol voucher" scenario is far more open to abuse whereas the cost of the flight will presumably be exactly that. So all legit and above board as far as I'm concerned
