Sydney - The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) on Wednesday announced changes to its player contracting policy by allowing an elite group of overseas-based players to be eligible for Wallabies selection.
Effective immediately, overseas-based players will now be eligible for Wallabies selection if they have played more than 60 Tests for Australia and have held a professional contract with Australian Rugby for at least seven years.
The adjustment to the policy was approved by the ARU Board and endorsed by Super Rugby CEO’s on Monday.
