Leicester Fainga'anuku's move to France and signing with Toulon has finally been confirmed. He's signed an 18-month contract, starting after the RWC and finishing at the end of the 2024-2025 Top 14 season. Considering his young age, he could even come back to Super Rugby after that stint.

@Stargazer That is so shit. Just read on rugbypass too. I know only only an 18 month deal, but jeez I'm sure he will play a big part for us in RWC. You'd think he might hang around for Razors inaugural year in 24.

@Jailbreak7 I wonder whether he signed with Toulon very early in the year. I read the first rumours in Rugbyrama in February. Maybe he couldn't get out of the contract, but managed to reduce the length of it? Just speculating, of course, but he has more than enough time to return to SR and compete for a spot in the ABs for the 2027 RWC. It's very similar to Dmac's and TJP's stint in Japan. No SR contract at the end of his French contract, but probably no problem getting one if he wants to return.

@Tim Yep, Harbour finished as high as they did on the table thanks to him. Easily their best player in 2022.
But ... will he leave for Japan before or after the NPC? That media release doesn't mention it and Harbour hasn't posted anything on their socials (yet). Or does his injury prevent him from playing NPC?

@Stargazer You posted this in the Chiefs 2023 thread.

As per the post above and this article https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/132293400/chiefs-pivot-bryn-gatland-to-join-all-black-brodie-retallick-at-japanese-club I'd say no chance of NPC
