Pau opener Colin Slade leaves the French club to join the Japanese Dynoboars franchise, the former All Black announced on Thursday.

Slade (32) formalized his transfer to the Top League club, the Japanese first division, by posting "Thank you for everything. Next Dynoboars destination" on his Instagram account.

The double world champion (2011, 2015), who arrived in Pau in 2015, was at the end of the contract in June and had left France at the start of confinement.
