Rugby:Stade Francais coach Michael Cheika has completed the capture of Munster's Paul Warwick as he continues to put his own stamp on the Parisian outfit. Warwick will join the Top 14 club during the summer.

Munster confirmed last month that Warwick would be moving on, stating they were unable to match offers from abroad for the versatile Australian fullback/outhalf.

France was always the likely destination for the 29-year-old and Stade Francais confirmed this morning they have signed Warwick on a two-year deal.

Cheika had also been linked with moves for the Leinster duo Jonathan Sexton and Jamie Heaslip, who signed new deals with the Irish province yesterday, but had always maintained he was never in the market for either player.
