Another All Black signs French deal

The wing agreed to join Bordeaux-Begles on a three-year deal from next season.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Fiji and has won three caps for New Zealand, has spent the last two seasons playing for the Crusaders, winners of the Super Rugby title last year.

Tamanivalu's departure comes just days after All Black and Chiefs centre Charlie Ngatai confirmed he would be heading to Europe to join Lyon.
