Crusaders halfback Andrew Ellis has re-committed to Crusaders and New Zealand Rugby for a further two years, on the eve of his 100th match in Super Rugby.
Ellis, 29, will run out for the 100th time with the Crusaders, for their derby dust-up against the Blues in front of what
is expected to be a sold out AMI Stadium (Addington) tomorrow night. He marks the milestone as he confirmed his desire to continue playing his rugby in New Zealand.
"I love playing rugby in New Zealand and I love playing for the Crusaders. It is important to me to be in New Zealand while I am still playing my best rugby and I consider it a real privilege to go to work every day with my best mates, and to wear the Crusaders jersey," Ellis said.
New Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Steve Tew congratulated Ellis on his recommitment to New Zealand.
"This is fantastic news for the Crusaders and for New Zealand Rugby - Andy is a special player who has already given outstanding service to the game. We congratulate him on reaching a significant milestone in Investec Super Rugby," Tew said.
