All Blacks scrum-half TJ Perenara has signed a three-year contract to play club rugby in Japan.

New Zealand Rugby says the 32-year-old, who has played 81 Tests, will join Japan League One side Black Rams Tokyo at the end of the year.

Perenara is in the New Zealand squad for the Rugby Championship, with the All Blacks hosting Argentina in their first match this Saturday in Wellington.

His move to Japan ends a 12-year spell with Super Rugby side, the Wellington Hurricanes.

In a statement, Perenara says he is excited to embark on a new journey with the Black Rams Tokyo in Japan, and it’s a new chapter for his family after an incredible 12 years with the Hurricanes.

Perenara made his debut for the All Blacks in 2014 and was part of the Rugby World Cup-winning side one year later.

He forced his way back into the New Zealand side for the Test series win over England last month after more than a year on the sidelines with an Achilles tendon injury.

The All Blacks will face Argentina at 7.05pm on Saturday in the Rugby Championship competition.

Australia will take on South Africa at 4.30pm Saturday at Suncorp Stadium.
