Munster snap up All Black

Dublin - Twice-capped New Zealand utility back Francis Saili on Monday signed a two-year deal with Irish province Munster in a further blow to the All Blacks ahead of this year's Rugby World Cup.

Saili, who made his All Blacks debut against Argentina in 2013, will move to the province later this year from the Auckland Blues after the completion of his 2015 contractual commitments.

The 24-year-old's move follows that of rising All Blacks star Charles Piutau, who has signed a two-year contract to join Irish club Ulster in July 2016, nearly a year after the World Cup.
