Yet another highly rated All-Black prospect is heading north with the news Francis Saili has signed a two year deal with Munster.
Saili has been playing with the Auckland Blues since 2011 and was capped twice for New Zealand, earning his first cap against Argentina in Hamilton in 2013.
Saili has been beset by injury problems since his debut and has not featured much for New Zealand in the past year.
Munster coach Anthony Foley spoke positively of his new import.
We are really pleased that Francis has committed his future to the province
He is a talented centre with an impressive skill-set and he possesses the physical attributes to excel in the northern hemisphere.
Pleased to confirm that Blues and All Black centre @FrancisSaili will join Munster on a two-year contract.
