Done deal.

Stade Francais have confirmed the signing of All Blacks centre Ngani Laumape in a massive coup for the Parisian giants.

The 26-year-old has represented New Zealand on 13 occasions but has put his All Black career on hold at least for now with the stunning move to France.

The powerful centre will replace France international Gael Fickou who has signed for Racing 92 ahead of next season.

While he has been unable to make the 12 jersey his own on the international stage his move will no doubt be seen as a huge loss to New Zealand Rugby.
