(Reuters) - All Blacks prop Owen Franks will join English Premiership club Northampton Saints from New Zealand Super Rugby's Canterbury Crusaders at the end of the year, his nation's rugby union said on Friday.

The two-time World Cup winner played in all seven All Blacks games at the 2011 Rugby World Cup and six at the 2015 tournament. The 31-year-old has 106 caps and teams up with elder brother Ben, who joined Saints from London Irish last year.
