Israel Folau has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the Australian Rugby Union and New South Wales Waratahs.
Australia's Fox Sports has reported the 26-year-old, who was kept quiet in Saturday night's semifinal loss to the Highlanders, has signed a flexible contract similar to that of Waratahs first five-eighth Bernard
Foley, who will play in Japan along with Super and test rugby.
His deal will keep him with the Wallabies and Waratahs until at least the end of the 2018.
There had been talk of Folau giving up his position with the Waratahs and Wallabies to join the Australian Sevens team and play at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The former NRL star and AFL player was linked with moves back to rugby league and his reported new deal will come as a huge relief to Australian rugby and the Waratahs.
