Blues centre Rene Ranger is said to be on his way to French
club Montpellier.
According to a report on Sky's Reunion tonight, Ranger, who
played three tests for the All Blacks in 2010, will leave the
Blues at the end of the season.
It is curious timing from the 26-year-old, as he had a great
chance to return to the All Blacks fold this year in the
absence of Richard Kahui, who is leaving for Japan, and
Conrad Smith, who is said to be taking a sabbatical at the
end of the year.
Ranger's clash with Crusaders opposite Robbie Fruean at Eden
Park on Saturday night was said to be a precursor of things
to come but it seems he sees his future elsewhere.
