MELBOURNE: Australia's players have accepted an average 60% salary cut for the next six months in an interim deal announced Monday.
Rugby Australia confirmed details of the agreement on Monday evening, confirming that players had accepted the cut, which is believed to be weighted towards the game's top earners and will run until September 30.
Should Super Rugby resume before September 30, the Rugby Union Players' Association (RUPA) and Rugby Australia will start negotiations anew.
