All Blacks and Hurricanes winger Julian Savea will leave New Zealand at the end of the current Super Rugby season and join French giants Toulon.
Savea, who has fallen out of favour with All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, is believed to have signed a two-year deal, and joins fellow All Black Liam Messam and Wales international Rhys Webb among the new arrivals for next season.
The powerful winger has scored an incredible 46 tries in 56 Test matches, and will join backline that already includes the likes of Chris Ashton, Malakai Fekitoa and Josua Tusiova.
Savea is expected to arrive in France in early August, once the Super Rugby season is finished.
