Another day, another All Black heads north. The trickle is fast becoming a flood.
One test All Blacks prop and Hurricanes centurion Jeff Toomaga-Allen is the latest to announce his departure after signing on with Wasps.
Toomaga-Allen, who played his sole test in Japan in 2013 and two matches against
the Barbarians and French XV on the 2017 northern tour, will feature in one final season with the Hurricanes before joining Lima Sopoaga, Brad Shields and Malakai Fekitoa at Wasps this year.
The tighthead prop is the third player to announce he is leaving the Hurricanes – his exit coming hot on the heels of team-mate Matt Proctor, who will join Chris Boyd at Northampton, and Nehe Milner-Skudder who has inked a three-year deal with Toulon.
Such regular deflections must be concerning for New Zealand Rugby as their depth is continually eroded.
