Another All Black signs overseas deal
By Online Editors
Three-test lock/blindside flanker Jackson Hemopo has become the newest All Black to ink an offshore deal.
Japanese Top League club Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars has announced their signing of the abrasive 25-year-old on their Instagram account yesterday.
"That kept me in New Zealand so I think it's a good option for New Zealanders to go and try and something different, and if they've been there for a few years to come back refreshed and ready to go again," he said.
The Highlanders and New Zealand Rugby are yet to make an announcement on the signing.
