It was a resounding 'yes' from provincial unions today for New Zealand Rugby's plan to sell a portion of the organisation to US firm Silver Lake.
All 26 unions and the Māori Rugby Board gave the deal their tick of approval today believing it is the best way to save the game in this country.
However the $387 million deal is still not complete, because the players are yet to agree to it.
Mediation is at a stalemate with the two parties said to be way apart on the issue.
RNZ sports reporter Barry Guy was at today's AGM.
