The IRFU is set to pocket just over €100,000 from the Netflix documentary Six Nations - a fee that could rise to almost €140,000 if a second season is commissioned.
It is believed that the Six Nations unions and CVC, the investment capital company that has taken a 14.3% stake in the championship, are to share £700,000 for providing access for the first season of the series that aims to bring the tournament to a global audience - although it won't be broadcast until next year.
That fee will rise to £850,000 in total if there is a second season of the sport's equivalent of Formula One's 'Drive To Survive'.
