Players on next year's British and Irish Lions tour to Australia are to benefit from a profit-share model that has been brought in for the first time.
Under the scheme, a portion of the post-tour profits will be distributed amongst members of Andy Farrell's squad following the nine-fixture itinerary, which concludes in a Test series against the Wallabies.
It is part of a new agreement between the players and the Lions that will also include greater collaboration around scheduling and preparation.
"This agreement recognises the role players play across the Lions tour, both on and off the field," Ireland flanker Peter O’Mahony said.
"It’s great to see a commitment to ensuring everyone benefits from the success of each tour."
