Chiefs winger James Lowe has announced he will be leaving New Zealand rugby at the end of the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup campaign.
Lowe has signed a three‑year deal with Irish club Leinster, and is set to depart overseas after completing his New Zealand obligations with the Chiefs and Tasman.
The 24‑year‑old has been on the cusp of All Blacks honours the past year, and started his Super Rugby season with three tries in his first two games.
However, Lowe explained that he made the move to set up the future for him and his family.
The Chiefs will take on Super Rugby defending champions the Hurricanes at 6.35pm Friday.
