KEY POINTS:
Counties Manukau have signed former New Zealand sevens player Sione Kepu for this year's national provincial championship.
The former New Zealand Universities No 8, who returns from playing in Japan next month, follows former Chiefs lock Dave Duley - also back from playing overseas - into the squad. Kepu, 25, spent the past four years playing for Worcester and Exeter in England and Toshiba in Japan.
The converted winger will join his younger brother, Sekope, at Counties Manukau.
