Queensland Reds flanker Daniel Braid will return to New Zealand rugby in July in a bid to cement a place as Richie McCaw's All Blacks back-up for the 2011 World Cup.
The New Zealand Rugby Union announced on Thursday that Braid had signed a two-year deal to play for Auckland in the domestic competition in 2010 and for the Blues in 2011's expanded Super series.
The 29-year-old has only played four Tests for New Zealand since his debut in 2002 against Wales.
