The former Wasps captain said he was eager to return to Japan, host of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. “So, to have the chance to sign for a great club like Toyota is something I am very excited about,” he said in a statement. “My family and I are looking forward to experiencing Japan again and I am personally looking forward to testing myself in the league and helping Toyota Verblitz have a good year,” he said.
