Playmaker to continue to play for Waratahs and Wallabies Also allowed to seek a big-money overseas club deal Fly-half Bernard Foley has been handed Australia's first "flexible" playing contract which allows him to continue with the Wallabies but also play lucrative stints overseas. Australia has long demanded players put in a full season of domestic rugby to earn the right to be selected for the national team, but has battled to stem the flow of players to richer foreign competitions.
