All Black halfback Piri Weepu has given his strongest indication yet he wants to stay in New Zealand beyond 2011.

Weepu comes off contract at the end of the year but says if he's wanted by the NZRU and the Hurricanes, he wants to stay.

Weepu says moving to another New Zealand Super Rugby franchise seems unlikely.

He says he's never really looked anywhere else.

The Hurricanes play the Lions in Super Rugby tomorrow.
