Wales lock Adam Beard signs new Ospreys deal
By PA
Wales lock Adam Beard has signed a new contract with the Ospreys. The Welsh region said that Beard had agreed terms on a three-year deal.
The 26-year-old was part of Wales’ 2019 Six Nations title and Grand Slam-winning team, and he also featured for the British and Irish Lions against South Africa last summer, going on as a substitute in the third Test.
Beard, who has won 29 Wales caps, said: “We have a really good squad developing at the Ospreys, with a mixture of young exciting talent and some really experienced players who have done it at the highest level.
“There is a really strong bond developing between the players, and the coaching set-up is really putting its stamp on the squad and the culture.”

I think that any NZ player who has been on a full SR contract with a NZ franchise for 7 seasons or more (regardless of All Black caps) has demonstrated great loyalty to NZR and therefore should be free to make the big dollars overseas (it is a profession with a limited shelf life) and be eligible for All Black selection.
This policy encourages NZ players to play in Super Rugby until age 28-29 when their market value is at its highest and very likely to leave NZ anyway as NZR can no longer afford them unless they are core All Blacks.
