Former-All Black lock Dominic Bird is returning to New Zealand rugby to join the Hurricanes for next year s Super Rugby competition.
The 30-year-old former Crusaders and Chiefs representative will lineup for the Wellington Lions for this year s Bunnings Warehouse NPC before joining the Hurricanes set-up next year. I m excited to be getting back into Super Rugby next year and returning to NZ with my family to live, the two-test All Black said. We ve enjoyed our time with Racing Metro in France, and I feel like I ve been playing some of my best rugby up there, but now is the right time to return home. I m looking forward to testing myself again in Super Rugby and adding huge value to the Hurricanes in 2022.
