Springbok and Toyota Cheetahs flank Heinrich Brussow has joined the growing exodus of players out of South Africa after signing a contract to further his career in Japan.
The flanker, who has been ignored by the Springbok selectors over the past two years, has signed a two-year contract in Japan and is due to leave after the current Vodacom Super Rugby season.
