All Blacks star signs surprise short-term deal with Irish heavyweights
All Blacks star Jordie Barrett has announced a sabbatical to play with Irish club Leinster at year's end, while committing his future to New…
Hurricanes match-winner Ben Lam will depart at the end of the Super Rugby season to take up a contract with French club Bordeaux.
Lam, 28, was a long-serving New Zealand sevens player and emerged in recent seasons as an All Blacks candidate, without getting a call-up.
The powerhouse winger is a proven tryscorer and in 2018 went over for a Super Rugby season-record 16 tries.
His form has continued into this season, breaking the game open with two tries in last weekend’s win over the Sharks in Wellington.
Lam has agreed to a two-year deal with Bordeaux, replacing former NRL star Semi Radradra, who is moving to Bristol in the next European club season.
