San Francisco will compete against San Diego, Sacramento, Denver and Ohio in the opening campaign.

"I'm delighted and looking forward to being part of rugby history in the States," said Muliaina.

The 35-year-old was a member of the All Black team that won the 2011 World Cup – while winning the Tri-Nations six times and three IRB Sevens titles.

He played more than 100 Super Rugby matches for the Blues and Chiefs – helping the Blues to the 2003 title, and played the past two seasons for Connacht and Zebre in the Pro12.

"He has a terrific track record and we are sure he will bring great knowledge and experience," said PRO Rugby director Steve Lewis.
