Japan internationals Naoya Okubo and Takashi Yoshida will leave Top League club Suntory Sungoliath this week, Suntory officials said Monday.

No. 8 Okubo is hoping to launch a career overseas, while fullback Yoshida will try to land a contract with another Japanese club.

Both players' professional contracts expire Wednesday.

Okubo and Yoshida were both members of Japan's squad at the Rugby World Cup in Australia last year.
