Henry Pollock: England flanker has superstar quality to wake sleeping giant of rugby union so pay him, says Eddie Hearn

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has praised England and British & Irish Lions flanker Henry Pollock, claiming the young rugby union star deserves a £1 million-per-year contract. Hearn argued that Pollock has the superstar quality needed to grow rugby union's commercial appeal and reach a wider audience. He also criticised English rugby's salary cap, suggesting it restricts player earnings and limits the sport's overall commercial development.
