Top 14 salary cap extended

[beige]

The Ligue Nationale de Rugby in France have extended the salary cap in the Top 14 up to 10million euros for next season.

According to Midi Olympique, the change sees the salary cap increase from 9.5million euros.

The cap will now be frozen for the next two seasons, avoiding a further increase.

One notable change to the cap is that youth players will no longer be included in the salary cap, unless their salaries are greater than 50,000 euros a year.

The salary cap in the Aviva Premiership remains set at £4.25million a season, whilst the four Welsh regional sides have an imposed salary cap of £3.5million.

I wish the Welsh regional sides had a "Welsh-eligible only" policy. There's only four of them.

Modern era and the need to win trophies, I suppose.
