The Melbourne Rebels have added Japanese international Male Sau to their Super Rugby roster for the 2014 season.
The 26-year-old utility back, who can play in the halves and centres, said he was confident of having an immediate impact despite missing the Rebels' opening match - a 35-14 win over the Cheetahs on Friday night.
"I think I will adapt fairly quickly, and I hope that I will be able to perform well at Super Rugby level," he said in a statement.
The New Zealand-born Sau joins fellow Japanese internatonal Shota Horie at the Rebels.
Sau has represented Japan on 13 occasions.
