The Springbok superboot Francois Steyn has arrived in France to start his stint with Parisian rugby club Racing-Metro.
The 22-year-old will start training this week and could be included in the squad for this weekend's home game against Montpellier.
Racing-Metro languish one from bottom of the Top 14 league and badly need the skills of the ex-Sharks star.
Steyn, the youngest ever World Cup winner at age 19 in 2007, is hoping that despite moving to France on a three-year contract he will be back in Springbok colours at the next World Cup being staged in New Zealand in 2011.
In addition to prodigious kicking ability, Steyn also offers considerable versatility, having played tests for South Africa in the 10, 12, and 13 jerseys as well as number 15.
