Former Warriors league player Sam Lousi has quit the Waratahs Super Rugby franchise and signed with the Hurricanes.
Lousi was brought to Sydney by Wallabies coach Michael Cheika, but his rugby development has been hampered by injuries.
Lousi is tipped to have a stint in the NPC before linking up with the Canes.
The big forward is not the only New Zealander on the move across the Tasman.
