Since making his debut in 2013 for the Blues he has made 144 appearances, becoming a club legend in the process and winning the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman title in 2021.

Tu’ungafasi could end up as the most capped Blues player of all-time, with legendary All Black hooker Keven Mealamu holding the record with 164 caps.

He made his All Black debut in 2016 and has been capped 59 times, featuring in two Rugby World Cups in 2019 and 2023. His new deal will take him to the eve of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

“The Blues holds a special place in my heart, and I’m honoured to extend my journey here,” Tu’ungafasi said in a statement.

“I’m proud to have played so much rugby for one club and it’s been cool to grow as a person and a player with the Blues.

“I take a lot of pride in contributing not only to our Blues community but also to the development of our younger players. It’s great to work with the new front-rowers and I’m committed to ensuring we build strength in that area.”

The Blues are chasing their first Super Rugby Pacific title and are currently top of the ladder ahead of a rivalry clash with the Crusaders in Christchurch this weekend.

They are looking to secure the number one seed over the final two weeks of regular season action which would see them potentially host a final at Eden Park.

The club is looking into the legality of bringing in Beauden Barrett for the rest of the season after the returning All Black finished his season in Japan.

Why the Brumbies are still the best team in Australia

The Curse of Mayo ! In 1951, the Gaelic football team from County Mayo won the coveted Sam Maguire Cup in the All Ireland final at Croke Park in Dublin. Returning home to the western county in Connacht, in a open lorry, and in high spirits, they rolled into the little village of Foxford. Ireland was then a very different country to now, with ancient traditions and superstitions still strong, and the power of the priest supreme.


A funeral procession, headed by the local priest, was in progress to the chapel.The team should have fallen silent, got off the lorry, and paid their respects. They did not, carrying on through the village in full voice. I cold fury, the local priest is said to have cried out: “Damnation be upon every one of you ! As long as you all shall live, Mayo will never win another All Ireland “ And indeed in the 74 years since that day, Mayo have reached 11 finals, and lost every time ! The last man from the cursed team died in 1921, at 95 years of age, so Mayo may soon win again.


I wonder is Qld. also a cursed side ? I recall an article you wrote several years ago, Nick. George Smith had come to play for Qld. after retiring from International rugby, and fresh from a very successful stint at Wasps. Qld. we all thought, would reign supreme. They did not. Apart from the one good year under Brad Thorn, they do seem to me, with my Irish blood, and having lived in Africa where the curse is still alive and kicking, to be under a one such.
