Former All Black excited over Warriors switch
Former All Blacks back row Angus Macdonald has agreed a two-year deal to move to the Glasgow Warriors.
The 31-year-old, who was capped twice in 2005, will make the move to the Scotstoun club from Japanese outfit Coca Cola West Red Sparks.
Macdonald, though, previously helped the Blues to the Super Rugby title and Auckland to domestic success, while he also played for the NZ Maori against the British and Irish Lions in 2005.
And Macdonald, who favours playing on the blindside, is looking forward to testing himself in the RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup.
Spirit
Macdonald told the club's official site: "I'm really happy to have signed for Glasgow Warriors and I'm excited by the opportunity of playing for a club where there's a concerted effort to achieve success.
"Since this move became a possibility, I've been keeping a close eye on how the team have been performing in the RaboDirect PRO12, and it's clear they've got a tremendous spirit and sense of purpose in what they do.
"They've got every chance of making the play-offs and they've recruited and retained a good number of players, so it's a positive environment to be coming into.
"The aim will be to use everything I've learned in the southern hemisphere to bring my own influence to the table. My overriding feeling right now is one of real anticipation. It's a great new challenge for me, and one I can't wait to get stuck into."
