Wallaby Frisby extends Reds deal
By Dejan Kalinic
Australia international Nick Frisby has signed a two-year contract extension with Queensland Reds, keeping him with the Super Rugby side until 2019.
Frisby, 24, has played 54 Super Rugby games, while he made his Wallabies debut last year.
The scrum-half, who has made five appearances for Australia, said he still had plenty he wanted to achieve with Reds.
"Ballymore has been home for a long time and it's somewhere I've made a lot of great memories, so I'm really pleased to know my future is here for at least another couple of years," Frisby said.
"I feel like I've still got a lot to achieve in the Reds jersey.
"The guys have worked incredibly hard over the pre-season and we're really looking forward to the season."
Reds head coach Nick Stiles said he expected even further development in Frisby's game.
"Nick joined the Reds six years ago and has grown immensely as a player in that time, but we feel strongly that his best years are still ahead of him," he said.
"He's a talented athlete, as shown through his selection for the Wallabies last year, but we're looking forward to him continuing to grow as a leader within the group."
Reds open their Super Rugby season against Sharks in Brisbane on February 24.

The New Zealand performance in the return fixture in 2016 was filthy. A lot of Irish supporters were pretty shocked by it, viewed it as de facto cheating just to avoid another defeat.
Also shocked by the abuse to Ireland, captain, vice-captain and spectators after the full time whistle in Paris defeat, last match.
Sledging is sledging, but that happens during the game and targetting spectators should be completely out of bounds.
The Irish public used to enjoy these matches, even in defeat. Now they are necessary but unpleasant, because NZ apparently cannot accept or respect successful challengers.
Go to commentsThanks 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.
