All Blacks star Damian McKenzie has reportedly signed a short-term deal with a Japanese club that will rule him out of the 2022 Super Rugby season.
According to New Zealand Herald, the Chiefs playmaker has inked a contract with Suntory Sungoliath - the same club that Beauden Barrett played for earlier this year.
Off-contract at the end of this season, McKenzie will link up with Suntory following the All Blacks end-of-year tour to play in the revamped Japan Rugby League One.
The All Blacks will face the Wallabies at 7.05pm tomorrow.
