Patrick Tuipulotu believes his body can hold up to the rigours of three more years in New Zealand Rugby.

The Blues captain and All Blacks lock has signed on until 2028, turning down offers from Japan.

Tuipulotu has been an All Black since 2014 but has often been sidelined through injury - limited to just one World Cup in 2019.

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.
