The Chiefs have attracted another All Black from the Crusaders with lock Dominic Bird signing with the franchise for the next two years.
At 2.06m tall, Bird is set to become the tallest member in the Chiefs squad.
Chiefs coach Dave Rennie believes the 120kg player will complement his forward
pack well.
"Men of Dominic's dimensions and athleticism are a rarity in our game. That excites us," said Rennie.
"He has impressed us with his attitude, his enthusiasm and his determination to develop his game. He'll fit in well here."
Bird made his Super Rugby debut in 2013 for the Crusaders, having played 31 matches for them.
