Taniela Tupou is willing to extend his stay with Australia and all but guarantee his participation in the 2027 Rugby World Cup —but he wants to get paid first.
Already the highest-paid prop in the country, the 'Tongan Thor' has unsurprisingly been courted by teams from Europe who are eager to secure the services of the 135-kilogram colossus.
It's understood clubs in France and England would be willing to pay Tupou more than AU$1million (£530,000) a year to join their ranks, with tighthead prop being one of the game's most lucrative positions.
