Blues wing, Mark Telea has followed in Hoskins Sotutu’s footsteps in extending his stay for the Blues for the next two Super Rugby seasons.

Blues coach Leon MacDonald says the 23-year-old has taken this opportunity with both hands where he has worked diligently on his fitness and skills and they are thrilled with his first Super Rugby season so far.

Telea says that extending his contract with the Blues is a big thing for him as there is great leadership in the team which helps them open their eyes to the bigger picture which is the future.

Telea has produced some eye-catching stats in the initial seven games of Super Rugby, first in defenders beaten, second in clean breaks and metres won, and in the last three games of Super Rugby Aotearoa he is second in defenders beaten and fifth in metres carried.

This week, the Blues will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm while the Hurricanes will face the Highlanders at 3.35pm Sunday.
