Wing Frank Halai is the latest All Black linked to a move overseas, with Premiership side Wasps reportedly set to sign him.

The Blues flyer was the top try-scorer in Super Rugby last year and according to the Telegraph he has agreed to a long-term deal from after the World Cup.

The explosive former New Zealand Sevens star would be the latest on a lengthy list of top Kiwi players moving on to the Premiership, following prop Ben Franks and lock Jeremy Thrush who have recently signed contracts in England.

Halai is expected to fill the gap left by wing Tom Varndell who is set to join Bristol at the end of the season, and it is hoped that he will be able to draw more fans to Wasps new home ground in Coventry.

He will join fellow New Zealander Jimmy Gopperth, with the experienced pivot joining from Irish side Leinster.
