New deals for All Blacks Lienert-Brown and Harris
By Jack Davies
All Blacks duo Anton Lienert-Brown and Nathan Harris have signed new contracts with the Chiefs and New Zealand Rugby.
Centre Lienert-Brown made nine appearances for the All Blacks in his debut international season last year and has renewed until 2020.
Four-times-capped Harris, meanwhile, has agreed a deal until 2019, having returned to action last week following a long knee injury lay-off.
"I'm hugely excited and grateful for the opportunity to re-sign with the Gallagher Chiefs and New Zealand Rugby until 2020," said Lienert-Brown.
"New Zealand Rugby, Waikato and the Gallagher Chiefs have played a huge part in developing me into the rugby player I am today.
"For that I'm very thankful and look forward to furthering my development as a rugby player here in New Zealand."
Hooker Harris added: "I'm really excited to continue my journey with the Gallagher Chiefs for the next two seasons.
"I've had the privilege to be a part of this team for the past four years and in that time I've overcome some significant injuries and also got to play alongside exceptional players.
"I'm really looking forward to being involved with the Chiefs going forward, under Colin Cooper, and to keep working to be the best person and player I can be."

Thanks for the analysis Nick, thought provoking as usual. Couple of queries though, in the pic where you've circled Williams bind , I'm pretty sure it shows Stuart's knee on the ground, surely that's a NZ penalty? Also having had the chance to watch it again the All Black scrum seeems to improve after halftime, but before either England or the All Blacks replace their props. Not sure if that was the result of Tuipolutu coming on or some halftime tips. Either way this is only Williams second international season, so he'll be better for the experience.
Go to commentsif the clock could be turned back, Jones should still have been given the top job, to be assisted by Farrell, Borthwick, Catt, & Rowntree, and after 2019 he should have been replaced by Farrell.
