George Ford turns down R360 riches for last shot at England World Cup glory

George Ford turns down R360 riches for last shot at England World Cup glory

George Ford, the Sale fly-half, has turned down a lucrative offer from the rebel R360 circuit to pursue his dream of playing for England in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The deal, reportedly worth £1 million per season, was rejected by the 32-year-old, who has instead signed a three-year contract extension with Sale, ensuring his availability for the 2027 World Cup in Australia. Ford, who reached a century of caps for England last summer, believes that there is no better motivation than winning for his country. The decision to forgo the financial riches of the R360 circuit demonstrates Ford's commitment to the England national team and his desire to compete on the biggest stage of international rugby.
