The Crusaders' loose forward Jordan Taufua has extended his contract with the Super Rugby club for another two years.
Taufua has re-signed with the team until the end of 2018.
Taufua was signed by Canterbury in 2012 and he also played for the Unior All Blacks that year.

Head Coach Todd Blackadder said Taufua's a highly physical player, aggressive on defence and dangerous on attack, and has been in standout form for the Crusaders for the last couple of seasons.
"Jordan has earned the nickname 'Beast' from his teammates for good reason. He gives 100 percent every single time he takes the field and he is an intimidating force for any opposition to come up against."
