All Blacks loose forward Sam Cane has revealed that he turned down offers from overseas clubs in order to remain in New Zealand until 2021.
The 49-Test forward yesterday confirmed that he'll remain with Bay of Plenty, the Chiefs and the All Blacks for the next four years - although did have other options away from New Zealand.
"There was a few things that came in, but in all seriousness, I didn't look at them," he said.
"It's not really fair on clubs overseas if you're mucking around when you're not really interested."

"So I just said thanks, but no thanks and worked on getting it sorted back here."
