“Earns more than Maro” – Argentina star Pablo Matera rejects Prem club for HUGE contract

Former Argentina captain Pablo Matera has rejected the chance to join Bath, according to The Telegraph.

They’ve reported that the 28-year-old ‘chose to explore options abroad due to the erratic nature of the club’s former chairman, Ed Griffiths, in contract negotiations.’

Matera, who starred in the Crusaders latest Super Rugby triumph, was one of the star performers as the Pumas voercame Scotland last weekend.

In stead of moving to The Rec, the 28-year-old will become one of the world’s highest paid rugby players after signing a huge contract in Japan.

Bath are in crisis following the departures of international stars Taulupe Faletau and Anthony Watson with the latter also slamming the clubs behaviour.
