CONFIRMED: Naholo has decided where he'll play his rugby next season
By Peter Thompson
New Zealand wing Waisake Naholo has signed a new one-year contract with the Highlanders.
The 26-year-old flyer, who won his 13th All Blacks cap in the second-Test defeat to the British and Irish Lions this month, was linked with a move to the Chiefs but has extended his stay with the Dunedin-based franchise.
Naholo, who was out of contract at the end of this season, said: "Really excited to announce I've decided to stay another year with the Landers,
"I love playing down here and playing in New Zealand, and looking forward to another big year next year."
The Highlanders will look to Naholo to celebrate his new deal by putting on a show in their Super Rugby quarter-final against the Crusaders on Saturday.

The prem games this season have mainly been great to watch , with the exception of Sale. So boring and predictable.
Let's have more of Bristol, Bath , Quins etc style of play.
Rugby needs expansive play to put more bums on seats . Not the dirge of rolling forward mauls constantly trying to bully their way over the line.
It has its place yes to draw the defence but the fans want to see more running rugby . Not win at any cost and sod the entertainment .
