All Blacks prop re-signs with NZR and Blues
By Online Editors
All Blacks prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi has recommitted with New Zealand Rugby, signing a new deal with the NZR and the Blues until the end of 2021.
Tu'ungafasi has 14 All Blacks caps and 63 Super caps to his name, all with the Blues. The 26-year-old is happy to be a part of the Blues franchise, and has his sights set on helping the side win a Super Rugby title.
"My family and I are Aucklanders. We are proud to be part of the Blues and I'm so pleased to re-sign for the Blues for another three years," Tu'ungafasi said.
"There's no other club I want to be at. I want to achieve 100 games for the Blues and join that special group, and I want to be a big part of a Blues team that wins a Super Championship.
"I've been honoured to wear the All Black jersey and represent my country and that's something I cherish and want to have the opportunity to do in the coming years."
Out of favour Blues first five-eighth Bryn Gatland also confirmed he was leaving the franchise to join the Highlanders on a two-year deal.
