The 30-year-old, 94-Test All Black has announced he has signed a two-year contract with the Japanese club NTT Docomo from next year.
Muliaina says once this season is over it will be time for something different.... Japan itself offers a completely different culture and way of life that my entire family is looking forward to experiencing."
All Blacks Coach Graham Henry says Mils goes to Japan next year with the best wishes of everyone involved in the All Blacks.
Muliaina and Richie McCaw are New Zealand's most capped Test players.
