Savea second All Blacks winger to leave Toulon

Julian Savea has become the second former All Blacks winger to leave French club Toulon this week and return to New Zealand to try to continue his professional rugby career.

Savea's former Wellington Hurricanes and All Blacks team mate Nehe Milner-Skudder confirmed on Wednesday that injury had forced him to cut short his contract with Toulon and sign with the Otago Highlanders.The moves come after French officials said last month they would cancel the remainder of the 2019/20 season because of the COVID-19 crisis.

"I guess trying to get back into New Zealand rugby maybe or find another contract, that's a five month, six-month timeline in terms of what can happen because of COVID-19 still going." The winger, however, failed to make the impact expected of him, with club owner Mourad Boudjellal launching a furious tirade about his performances last year.
