Shannon Frizell has become the latest All Blacks player to announce his departure from New Zealand, with the loose forward taking his talents to Japan.

The 25-test All Black has signed with Toshiba Brave Lupus Tokyo, linking up with the club following next year’s Rugby World Cup in France.

He will join fellow All Black first five-eight Richie Mo’unga in Tokyo, who also made the move following the World Cup.

Frizell, 28, has been a standout performer in Super Rugby for the Highlanders since making his debut with the club in 2018, making his All Blacks debut the same year.
