Ben Te’o is reportedly close to agreeing on a big-money move to Japan, irrespective of if he is called up by England for the Rugby World Cup.
Te’o, who has won 20 caps for England, is believed to have signed a contract to join Suntory Sunwolves.
The 33-year-old, who leaves Worcester Warriors this summer, had received a number of impressive offers from French clubs but will instead head east for one last big payday.
In the same report it’s suggest departing Leicester flanker Brendon O’Connor will also join the Sunwolves.
