Former Gloucester speedster Henry Purdy will fly down to New Zealand after signing with Otago for the upcoming Mitre 10 Cup.

I love that Henry Purdy is heading to New Zealand to play Mitre10 rugby for Otago.

If he can pick back up his early promise with Gloucester pre-injury, he could be a fielding plenty of texts from Prem clubs.
