Super Rugby’s form player will remain with the Blues, giving them a boost as they chase an elusive championship this year.
Powerhouse No 8 Hoskins Sotutu has extended his time at the Auckland franchise through to the end of the 2026 season.
Sotutu has shown outstanding form this season, solidifying his status as one of the country’s best No 8s, and could be eyeing a return to the All Blacks.
Since making his Blues debut in 2019 against the Crusaders Sotutu has become a mainstay in the Blues pack, consistently delivering exceptional performances.
In the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season to date, Sotutu is the leading try scorer (9) while recording a further five try assists. He has averaged 7.9 metres per carry in this campaign – the best rate of any forward in the competition (min 50 carries).
