Hard-running ACT Brumbies centre and Fiji born Tevita Kuridrani has re-signed with the Brumbies and the Wallabies on an upgraded deal which will keep him in Australian rugby for at least the next two years.

It is a massive boost for the Brumbies and an even bigger shot in the arm for the Australian Rugby Union as Wallabies stars, including Nic White, Bernard Foley, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Sekope Kepu and Will Genia are all leaving for Europe next year.

Kuridrani has established himself as the Wallabies’ first-choice outside centre and he wants to take his game to a new level this year as he settles into the Brumbies lineup.

This week will see the Chiefs take on the Brumbies at 6.35pm Friday while the Rebels will meet the Waratahs at 8.40pm.

On Saturday, the Bulls will clash with the Hurricanes at 5.10am, the Highlanders and the Crusaders will meet at 6.35pm, the Reds will take on Western Force at 8.40pm, the Stormers will face the Blues at 3.05am while the Sharks will take on the Lions at 5.10am.
