The All Blacks prop Charlie Faumuina has denied he's signed a deal to move to France after the World Cup.

Yesterday a French newspaper linked Faumuina with a move to Racing Metro.

Speaking at an All Black media conference in Edinburgh today, the 27-year-old was surprised by the news.

He says it would be awesome to see some kind of contract, but there's nothing there.

He says he's enjoying his time with the All Blacks and Blues and will just wait and see what happen.

Faumuina was out of favour with coach Steve Hansen earlier this year when he was dropped from the squad and told to work on his fitness.

The 25-year-old says he probably took things for granted and when you do that you don't sacrifice enough and don't train as hard.

Faumuina could get a start against Scotland this weekend.
