SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies openside flanker Sean McMahon has signed a two-year deal to play club rugby in Japan and said he would almost certainly not play in a second World Cup in 2019.

The 23-year-old, the latest victim of Australia's current glut in world class number sevens, has not disclosed which Top League club he will be joining but said he had played his last game for the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby.
