Crowd-pleasing Wallabies and Queensland Reds winger Digby Ioane says he will make a decision on whether he stays in Australia or signs with Japanese rugby after the upcoming two-game UK tour.
The destructive winger is weighing up a lucrative offer from Japanese club Kubota which is reportedly worth $1 million a season.
“It’s up in the air at the moment … it’s not all sorted yet and I’m going to leave it until I play these last two games in the UK and then I’ll put pen to paper when I come back,” Ioane told AAP on Thursday.
Ioane’s decision to play for the Wallabies on the UK tour, which begins with a clash at Twickenham against the Barbarians on November 26, has sparked speculation the winger will knock back the Kubota offer, especially now the Japanese season is up and running.
But for now, Ioane just wants to focus on the clash with the Barbarians and then Wales in Cardiff on December 3.
“I always look forward to playing over there. It should be a good tour and I just want to go there and play some good rugby and make a call on everything else when I get back,” he said.
