Liam Messam has announced on twitter that he has re-signed with New Zealand rugby. Messam also announced that he will be staying on with the Chiefs.
I'm very pleased & humbled to have resigned for the @ChiefsRugby @AllBlacks. Right place right time #chiefsmana #allblackeverything

Messam missed last week's Bledisloe Cup clash in Sydney due to a hamstring injury but may make his return this Saturday in Wellington despite an impressive performance by Steven Luatua in his first start.
It is another boost for New Zealand rugby as it looks towards the 2015 Rugby World Cup and 2016 Olympics - where Messam could feature in the sevens squad if allowed.
In other news, fellow Chiefs Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Sam Cane have also signed on to 2015. The Chiefs are now odds on favourites to build their new Super Rugby dynasty.
We have plenty of options at Number Six moving forwards with Brad Shields, Victor Vito, Adam Thomson, Steven Luatua, Jerome Kaino and even Richie McCaw in contention heading towards RWC 2015.
