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.

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
