London Irish have moved in to sign the All Blacks second row Bryn Evans in a major coup. The 26-year-old lock, who also plays for Hawke’s Bay in New Zealand’s domestic provincial competition, has signed a two-year deal.
“I am looking forward to testing myself against a different opposition in a different club competition,” he said.
“The chance to play in the Heineken Cup against the best teams in Europe is also a very exciting prospect.”
