SYDNEY: Wallabies lock Izack Rodda and two other players who declined to accept pay-cuts for the duration of the COVID-19 shutdown have terminated their contracts with Rugby Australia and Queensland Rugby Union , their manager said on Friday.
"This is their livelihood. It is only reasonable that talented players want to secure stable employment during these times," he added. The reductions of up to 60per cent were agreed with the players union to help cut costs while no professional rugby was possible because of restrictions put in place to contain the novel coronavirus outbreak."It would be wise for the Reds and RA to maintain amicable relationships with these players," Picone added.
