Giteau’s Sacrifice
The amount of money that Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell have left behind to play for the Wallabies again has been revealed.
Matt Giteau has sacrificed $250 000 whilst Drew Mitchell has sacrificed $150 000 after their payments from their French club side Toulon stopped 14 weeks ago.
It is understood each player has made approximately $100 000 in match payments since then but it is not close to what they would have earned if they had stayed with Toulon.

Jones Tips AB’s
“I think New Zealand will make it home in less than five points – it will be close,” Jones said.
“New Zealand played against a South Africa team that played their best 40 minutes in the first half.
“To win that game to me was very impressive. They really stuck it out and showed belief in their own game. It was a very good performance.”
