Two Bok stars on list of highest earners in world rugby

Two Springbok players are on a list of the world's highest earners in rugby, according to a report published in the UK.

While it is virtually impossible to determine what top sports stars earn — because of sponsorships and endorsements — salaries earned by the players at their respective clubs are more readily available and known.Pollard plays for Leicester Tigers in England, while Kolbe has recently swapped Toulon for Suntory Sungoliath in Japan.

The amounts listed are apparently calculated from their salaries for the 2022/23 season and the upcoming 2023/24 season.Kolbe is said to be earning around R21.3 million a year, and is third on the list, while Pollard is apparently earning R14.4 million and is ninth on the list. The top earner, according to the publication, is Scotland flyhalf Finn Russell who will allegedly earn between £950,000 and £1-million per year, up to R23.68 million per year.
