Kurtley Beale is reportedly set to sign a record two‑year deal worth NZ$3 million with the London Wasps.
Such a deal is unlikely to be matched by the Australian Rugby Union even if Beale enters into a flexible deal which allows him to play in Japan.
It would make the Waratahs and Wallabies second five‑eighth the highest‑paid player in the English premiership, and the equal‑highest paid Australian abroad along with Matt Giteau at Toulon.
Crucially, the 27‑year‑old would still be able to play for the Wallabies given he has now played 60 tests for Australia.
