Pat Lam: Mils Muliaina delivered for Connacht rugby

Connacht’s biggest signing Mils Muliaina is leaving the province at the end of the season to take up a new contract in Italy.

The All Black legend will join Pro12 side Zebre to help the Italian franchise during World Cup year.

The capture of 34-year-old Muliaina — Connacht’s biggest signing when he joined Pat Lam’s squad this season from the Chiefs — was seen as a signal of Connacht’s ambitions.
