WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Julian Savea has become the second former All Blacks winger to leave French club Toulon this week and return to New Zealand to try to continue his professional rugby career.

Savea's former Wellington Hurricanes and All Blacks team mate Nehe Milner-Skudder confirmed on Wednesday that injury had forced him to cut short his contract with Toulon and sign with the Otago Highlanders.
