Saracens seize Day from Rebels
Dominic Day will return to the Premiership to join champions Saracens from Super Rugby strugglers Rebels next season.
The lock, capped three times by Wales, has agreed a two-year deal with the European champions following a spell in Australia.
Day also played for Toyota Verblitz in Japan after leaving Bath last year, but is now set for a move to Allianz Park.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: "We believe Dom will prove to be a fine addition to the group and we are delighted that he has decided to join our club.
"He is a proven Premiership player, has over 200 career appearances, and who, at the age of 31, is in his prime.
"On the field, he is precisely the kind of big, dominant lock forward we have been seeking to bolster our squad, and off the field, he is exactly the type of character who we believe will thrive in our culture."

Day said: "I'm very much looking forward to joining Saracens next season.
"They've set the standard across Europe in recent years and when you look at the playing talent already at the club, along with the coaching set up, it's a very exciting prospect to be a part of."

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
