All Blacks flanker Jerome Kaino has been tipped to sign with French club Toulon in the next two days after the departure of Duane Vermeulen.
French media reports in December linked Kaino with Toulon as a replacement for Vermeulen, who will return to the Stormers for Super Rugby when Toulon's season ends.
The 34‑year‑old 81‑test veteran lost his starting place in the All Blacks No .6 jersey after withdrawing from the squad in August for personal reasons ahead of last year's opening Bledisloe Cup test against Australia in Sydney.
The two‑time World Cup winner was forced to head home last November from the All Blacks' end‑of‑year tour because of a ligament injury suffered playing against the Barbarians at Twickenham.
