Bath Rugby: Jonathan Joseph - £275,000
Bristol Bears: Charles Piutau - £1m

Gloucester Rugby: Jonny May - £320,000

Harlequins: Mike Brown (£300,000)
The three England stars remain the highest paid players at the Stoop.
Leicester Tigers: Manu Tuilagi - £460,000
with the England centre’s appearances for club Leicester and country sporadic through a variety of ailments.

Newcastle Falcons: Toby Flood - £250,000
Northampton Saints: Dan Biggar - £500,000
Wales’ ‘Governor’ was a catalyst for the Ospreys, being a superb club man and racking up a points record. But he decided to sample life “outside the goldfish bowl” of Wales with a big money offer enticing him to Northampton Saints.

The centre took a £100,000 paycut to join the Sharks after leaving Leicester. He is reportedly set to take Tigers to court to recoup his loss of earnings.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
