A major two-year deal has been agreed between the Welsh Rugby Union and the Welsh Rugby Players’ Association covering on and off-field activities.
The new deal covers outbound tour fees, player payments, image rights, a commercial licensing agreement and insurance against loss of earnings through injury.
It will run until the end of the 2006/7 season.
WRU chief executive Steve Lewis said: “Once more, we have taken a huge step forward in paving the way for two years of stability for the game in Wales and for our professional players, and this time we have also addressed their concerns regarding their off-the-field duties and interests.”
