Rugby Australia and Rugby Union Players' Association are still yet to agree on a player pay deal after a critical meeting yesterday.
The two parties met for upwards of three hours as they attempted to bridge the gap in their positions on what a fair deal would be for at least the next three months.
Rugby Australia has reportedly requested that the playing group take a 65 per cent pay cut for at least the next three months, and CEO Raelene Castle followed that up by announcing her own salary would be cut by 65 per cent for the next six months.
Yesterday’s meeting did not produce a finalised result but the parties are expected to continue discussions over the remainder of the Easter weekend, though a formal meeting has not been set down.
In a statement Rugby Australia said "progress was made" in talks.
