Danny Care believes hybrid contracts would be beneficial to English rugby if they succeed in keeping the nation's best players in a financially viable Gallagher Premiership.
The Rugby Football Union and Premiership Rugby are at an advanced stage of negotiations to introduce an arrangement that would give England head coach Steve Borthwick greater control over a reported 20 members of his squad.Apart from allowing Borthwick a say in how a player is managed and conditioned while on Premiership duty, the watered down form of central contracts would help clubs retain their England internationals in the face of the higher wages on offer overseas.
Care insists elements of the plan that would form part of the new professional game agreement, such as joined up conditioning programmes and player development, began soon after he replaced Eddie Jones in December.'Steve and the coaches are doing that already behind the scenes and they have been doing it since Steve took over the job,' Care said.
