Kepu also on French conveyor belt
Australian international prop Sekope Kepu has become the latest addition to the conveyor belt moving players from the Southern Hemisphere to France.
Kepu signed a three-year deal with ambitious Top 14 club Bordeaux-Begles.
The 28-year-old Wallaby – who will join after this year's World Cup – is the second player from the Waratahs to join the club coached by former France captain Raphael Ibanez.
Fellow Australian international utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper signed a similar deal with the Top-14 side in December 2014.
Kepu has played 52 times for Australia and will be a key player for them at the World Cup being hosted by England and which gets underway in September.
Bordeaux, who were founded in 2006, were promoted to the Top-14 in 2011 and are currently fifth in the top flight after finishing eighth last season.
