Established All Blacks and Chiefs midfielder Anton-Lienert Brown committed his long-term future to New Zealand.
The 24-year-old has re-signed with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and his the Chiefs through to 2023. He has also re-signed with his Waikato province through to 2021.
It's a key signing for the organisations, with
Lienert-Brown making huge strides since breaking into the professional game in 2014, when he made his Super Rugby and provincial debut.
He became a regular starter for the Chiefs in 2016 and was called into the All Blacks squad later that year. Still relatively young, he has already had an impressive career: 43 tests (24 starts) for the All Blacks, 71 Super Rugby games and 19 games for Waikato.
