Johnny Fa'auli heading to Japan after signing new deal

Faauli vs Reds

Johnny Fa’auli’s last act in Chiefs colours will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, with the under-fire midfielder set to depart at seasons end after committing to a two-year deal in Japan reports Stuff.co.nz.

Fa’auli is believed to be joining Japanese Top League club Toshiba, who are captained by former Chiefs player and All Black Richard Kahui. Liam Messam has also spent time at the club, solidifying links between the two teams. Fa’auli’s deal is not similar to structured off-season stints done for Jordan Taufua and Liam Squire. He leaves with no return to Super Rugby in sight, at least not in New Zealand anyway. He could push his way into contention with the Sunwolves under ex-Highlanders coach Tony Brown.

He was off contract at the end of the season but his deal was reportedly completed before he was red carded for this rising tackle on Hurricanes centre Wes Goosen.

His subsequent six-week suspension will be largely filled by August 31st, the day the Top League season begins.

With other midfield options Charlie Ngatai and Tim Nanai-Williams also moving on from the Chiefs, Anton Lienert-Brown will be looking for a new centre partner for next season. Sean Wainui could move in from the wing or Alex Nankivell, Sam McNicol, Levi Aumua and Regan Verney can push their cases forward.

Fa’auli attended St Kentigern College in Auckland, making the New Zealand schoolboys side in 2013. He debuted at in provincial level in 2015 with Counties Manukau before moving to Taranaki. He played 17 times for the Chiefs at Super Rugby level after debuting in 2017.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
