Matt Todd says 'no doubt' more Kiwi stars will play in Japan

All Blacks flanker Matt Todd says there is no doubt more Kiwi rugby players will leave New Zealand to play in Japan.

Todd who spent time playing for the Panasonic Wild Knights before joining the All Blacks in the last season's end of year tour, says the lure of playing in Japan has certainly grown.

Todd says they have increased their quota numbers for foreigners and that there is more spots available up there for foreigners.

All Blacks captain Kieran Read, who is close to revealing where in the world he will play his club rugby after his expected departure following the 2019 World Cup, is widely tipped to be heading to Japan.
