Smith, regarded as one of Australia's finest openside flankers over a 111-cap career, returns to the Tokyo-based club where he played from 2011-14 before heading to Europe.

The evergreen 35-year-old has been in stellar form for Wasps and was named the Players' Player of the Year in England last week. Wasps play Exeter Chiefs in the Premiership semi-finals on Saturday.
