Aussie rugby duo head for Biarritz
Young Australian halfbacks Michael Bond and Dane Haylett-Petty have signed for Biarritz Olympique, the French Top 14 rugby club confirmed on Tuesday.
The pair, who were targeted last month by Biarritz's Australian coach Jack Isaac, are expected to join their teammates at last season's European Cup runners-up later Tuesday.
Centre Bond, 23, played for North Brisbane after spells with Brisbane Broncos and the Sydney Roosters in the NRL.
South African-born Haylett-Petty, 21, arrives from Western Force where the back played eight Super 14 matches.
