Cummins, a colorful character, well known rugby player and larrikin, will join the Fukuoka team from August for the season finishing February next year. The 15-test winger has selflessly put aside his Australian representative jersey for next year\u2019s Rugby World Cup, to come to Japan to support his family with the lucrative offer made by the Red Sparks. The 26 year old is one of eight children who was brought up by his father Mark, a single parent, who is currently battling prostate cancer. On top of this, one brother and one sister suffer from cystic fibrosis. His current club, Perth based Western Force, in the Super Rugby competition, released him from his contract on compassionate grounds. Cummins has released the following statement, \u201cMy family is currently enduring some extremely difficult times in terms of their health and well being. It was a difficult decision to make in the context of a Rugby World Cup next year, but the health and well being of my family is paramount. I must now put my own interests in the world cup aside.\u201d Fukuoka is in for a treat with the Honey Badger\u2019s move. He is recognized as one of the best wingers in the world. And, his wild-haired look is sure to turn heads on and off the field. Fukuoka Now sends out a special welcome to the \u201cHoney Badger \u2013 please enjoy your time in our city!"}
