All Blacks scrumhalf TJ Perenara will not be switching code to rugby league after re-signing with the New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes until 2023.

The 29-year-old confirmed his interest in switching code last month after being approached by the Sydney Roosters.

Perenara has played 140 games for the Hurricanes since making his Super Rugby debut in 2012, making him the most-capped player of the Wellington-based side.

He says they are looking forward to seeing everyone back home and thanks to the Hurricanes and New Zealand Rugby for allowing him the opportunity to come home and do what he loves.

The Super Rugby Trans-Tasman competition will kick off this Friday with the Highlanders hosting the Reds at 7.05pm and the Waratahs will face the Hurricanes at 9.45pm.

The Crusaders will host the Brumbies at 7.05pm Saturday, the Rebels will play the Blues at 9.45pm Saturday and the Chiefs will travel to Perth to meet Western Force at 11.55pm Saturday.
