Vince Aso re-signs with Hurricanes
By RugbyPass
The New Zealand Herald have reported that young Hurricanes midfielder Vince Aso has re-signed with the Super Rugby franchise through 2020.
It was also reported that the 23-year-old Aucklander turned down lucrative salaries in France starting within the ballpark of $500,00NZD per year.
"I heard about all the contracts from overseas but I didn't think that was going to prove anything. I just want to make sure I at least complete some goals,” Aso told NZME.
"I want to make the hundy club with the Canes and it's every kid's dream to become an All Black. It's a hard goal but achieving that one day would be awesome."
Last season Aso ranked second in Super Rugby for tries scored with 14, one behind Hurricanes teammate Ngani Laumape.
He has also re-signed with Auckland, where he plays his provincial rugby and has 38 caps to his name.

To be fair it was nowhere bear the Leinster first team (for which, btw, Leinster copped nothing like the outrage that Jake White did for sending a rotated team to the UK). But it’s fun to watch the Stormers doing their thing. They are attracting big, diverse crowds of young fans, and deservedly so. Great to see.
Go to commentsIt might be legal but he’s sailing pretty close to the wind. Not a lot needs to go wrong for Finau to end up in the bin. Was it late? Not quite, but borderline. High? A couple of CM within the laws, no room for error with that one. Did he wrap the arms? There was a token effort to wrap one arm, the intent was clearly to hit with the shoulder. So yeah, it’s legal, just. But as we all know, a very slight change in the dynamics could easily have him seeing red. Hopefully not when it really matters.
