Tevita Kuridrani re-signs with Brumbies

Wallabies centre Tevita Kuridrani has re-signed with Australian Rugby, committing to a two-year deal with the ARU and the Brumbies until the end of 2019.

It’s been a memorable week for the 26-year old, who led out the Wallabies in their last start against South Africa in Perth, after he notched his 50th Test cap. 

Born in Fiji, Kuridrani moved to Brisbane in 2007 before going on to represent Australia on the HSBC World Sevens Series and for the Australia U20s.

The centre made his Super Rugby debut for the Brumbies in 2012 before becoming Wallaby 872 just a year later, when he ran out against New Zealand in August 2013. 

The renowned defender has enjoyed a superb form resurgence in the last 12 months, with the centre falling one try short of his own ‘Grand Slam’ on the 2016 Spring Tour as he almost emulated the famous feats of Mark Ella back in 1984.

Kuridrani is the cousin of former Wallaby Lote Tuqiri, as well as Fijian star Nemani Nadolo.
