Braid joins struggling Sale

Cape Town - Former All Blacks flank Daniel Braid has signed with struggling English club Sale in a deal until the end of the English season.

According to the Stuff website, Braid had been weighing up his options after missing out on a 2013 Super Rugby deal with the Blues.

The 31-year-old played eight Tests between 2002 and 2010, including the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

He also played a season with the Reds.

Sale currently lie bottom of the Aviva Premiership table with just two wins from 12 matches.

Sale have just lost coach John Mitchell who was briefly in charge before he suddenly returned to South Africa for personal reasons.
