Gareth Anscombe is believed to be pondering a big-money move after the 2023 Rugby World Cup, with France and Japan the likeliest destinations.
The 31-year-old has just signed a one-year contract extension with the Ospreys, committing to Welsh rugby up until the global gathering next autumn. Were Anscombe to move abroad this summer, he would become ineligible for Wales and miss out on another World Cup because his 31 caps do not meet the 60-cap threshold.
But Anscombe, who was cruelly robbed of a place at the 2019 tournament in Japan by injury, will be staying in Wales for the next 12 months, making himself available to Wayne Pivac for the tournament in France next year.
