Here, we look at eight of the highest-paid British players in world rugby and where England fly-half Owen Farrell fits in..
8. Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks) - £350,000
The England centre was forced to take a £100,000 paycut after leaving Leicester. It's thought that the centre may try to take Tigers to court over a loss of earnings.

7. Paddy Jackson (London Irish) - £500,000
The number 10 will reportedly earn more than his ex-international teammate Sean O'Brien, who'll also pocket a hefty £450,000 wage packet. null
6. Finn Russell (Racing 92) - £535,000
4= Stuart Hogg (Exeter Chiefs) - £550,000
4=. Rhys Webb (Ospreys) - £550,000
3. Simon Zebo (Racing 92) - £600,000
The Irish Timess reported that the offer from Racing is in the region of £600,000 with accommodation and a car. Who could turn that down?
2. Dan Biggar (Northampton Saints) - £600,000
Wales’ ‘Governor’ was a catalyst for the Ospreys, being a superb club man and racking up a points record. But he decided to sample life “outside the goldfish bowl” of Wales with a big money offer enticing him to Northampton Saints.
1. Owen Farrell (Saracens) - £750,000
Farrell will remain at the club that he has called ‘home’ since the age of 14 until at least 2022, earning himself a hefty pay-rise in the process. His new deal means he will now earn in excess of £750,000 a season, bringing him in line with some of the highest-paid players in the world.
