Rugby has never been known as the highest paid sport – youngsters don’t get into the game with dreams of Messi-esque salaries, but instead because of a love for the sport. Still, there are some players at the very top of the game who manage to rake in some large salaries, such is their skill on the pitch and their allure off it. Here we’ll be looking at the 10 highest paid rugby stars in the world, all of whom play in one of two countries: England and France. Keep reading to see how much the world’s top rugby stars reportedly take home every year.

10. Morgan Parra – £620,000 ($862,800) p/a

At number 10 on the rugby rich list is Morgan Parra of France and Clermont. The scrum-half is hugely popular in his home country, where he is known as the petit général. He’s played over 70 times for France, plus he’s become a lynchpin of the Clermont side, having taken to the field over 300 times for the French club. Parra might now be one of the older statesmen of French rugby, however his contract is estimated to be worth around £620,000 per year.

9. Nicolas Sanchez – £620,000 ($862,800) p/a

The only Argentine in the list, Sanchez has played over 90 times for his national team, with his career highlight being scoring all 25 points scored by his team as they beat New Zealand for the first time in 2020.

The fly-half has played for Stade Français since 2018.

When joining the French team from Jaguares, Sanchez was able to negotiate himself a significant pay rise. He is now believed to be earning approximately £620,000 per year.

8. Dan Biggar – £640,000 ($890,600) p/a

Dan Biggar is one of Wales’ top players. The outside-half also plays for Northampton, joining the Saints in 2018 and winning the Premiership Rugby Cup with them the following year.

7. Steven Luatua – £700,000 ($974,300) p/a

This New Zealand lock plays for Bristol Bears and was an integral part of the team that won the Challenge Cup in 2020. Despite his clear abilities on the pitch, Luatua has only represented his country 15 times, with his last cap being in 2016. This is because of his decision to start playing club rugby away from NZ. When joining Bristol, Luatua signed a large contract, which made up for having to side-line his international ambitions.

He currently earns around £700,000 per year playing for his domestic side.

Farrell is certainly paid well by Saracens, despite them dropping to the RFU Championship due to salary breaches. His contract is currently thought to be worth around £800,000 per year. It was recently announced that the England captain could be out of the game for up to three months following ankle surgery.

5. Maro Itoje – £825,000 ($1,148,800) p/a

The lock is also an integral part of the England set-up, and is regarded by many as the best player in the world in his position. He has played over 130 times for Saracens and has over 50 England caps.

Itoje’s contract is believed to be worth about £825,000 per year.

4. Finn Russell – £850,000 ($1,183,600) p/a
