Former All Black Charles Piutau has joined Shizuoka BlueRevs in Japan in the latest move in a rugby career which constantly has veered from convention. Piutau was only 23 when he turned his back on the All Blacks to play in Britain, sending shockwaves through New Zealand rugby. A promising utility back, Piutau had played 17 tests and seemed likely to play many more but decided to head to Britain after missing selection for the 2015 World Cup.
