Kuridrani puts his hand up for the long haul
TEVITA Kuridrani’s dream was to play one Test for the Wallabies and the way he is heading he could be close to his century of Tests by the time he calls time on his rugby career.
Kuridrani signed a new two-year deal with the Wallabies and the Brumbies on Wednesday and said he was excited about what lies ahead.
“I’m really excited to stay with the Brumbies and Australian Rugby and know the future has lots in store,” Kuridrani said in a media release.
“When I moved to Australia from Fiji, it was my dream to just play one time for the Wallabies, so to now have done it 50 times is amazing.
“Australia has been good to me and my family, so while I had some offers to go overseas, I just didn’t want to leave.
“I really believe in what we’re building here at the Wallabies but also at the Brumbies and I hope I can be a big part in that.”
