Esportif International, a rugby talent management agency, has produced some numbers to reveal on average, what positions demand the highest salaries across the Guinness PRO14, the Top 14 and the Aviva Premiership.
From the graphic below, you can see that out-halves demand the highest salary in the Top 14 and the Aviva Premiership while full-backs top the list for the Guinness PRO14 while out-half comes in second place.
Tighthead props are also in the upper echelons of the Top 14 and Premiership salary stakes while they remain in the middle for the Guinness PRO14.
