Daniller packs for Parma

Cheetahs fullback Hennie Daniller will join Italian club Zebre after the Super Rugby season.

The Bloemfontein team have no chance of reaching the play-offs and their final league fixture is away to the Lions on July 12 in Johannesburg.

Uncapped Daniller joins a rapidly expanding group of South African rugby players lured to Europe and Japan by much bigger salaries than they earn at home.

His teammates at Zebre in northern Italian city Parma will include former Cheetahs lock Andries Ferreira.

A dependable fullback with a booming boot, Daniller was at the Bulls and Boland Cavaliers before joining Cheetahs six years ago.
