Rugby: Minted Jonny Wilkinson is Northern Hemisphere rugby"s top earner

The former England star, 34, has seen off new big-name arrivals to remain the top dog in France’s Top 14 League.


Even the arrival of summer Lions heroes Jonathan Sexton and Jamie Roberts to Racing Metro has not seen the World Cup winner slip down the ‘top earner’ league table. And other big-name stars like South African Bryan Habana and Aussie Matt Giteau are left trailing in Wilko’s wake.


Wilkinson’s near £600,000 deal with Toulon will increase to around £700,000 if he can lead the club to the French title and retain their Heineken Cup title this coming season.
