CONFIRMED: Naholo has decided where he'll play his rugby next season
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.

“I love playing down here and playing in New Zealand, and looking forward to another big year next year.”
