Rugby’s IPL However, there are concerns that the competition could force players to choose between featuring in the tournament or playing international rugby for their country. “The plan is to contract around 280 men’s players worldwide and around 140 women’s players for rugby’s version of the IPL,” a source told the publication. “They’re talking about starting salaries as high as $900,000. An effort is being made to get some of the world’s top players to sign contracts.” |
