The Chiefs have secured the services of the All Blacks trio of Liam Messam, Sam Cane and Tawera Kerr-Barlow for the next two seasons.



The trio have re-signed with New Zealand Rugby and their Chiefs franchise through to the 2015 Rugby World Cup.



Messam, who this year co-captained the Chiefs to a second successive Super Rugby title, said his decision to re-sign was an easy one.



"It was the right time and place for my family to stay," the 29-year-old Messam said.



"I love playing my rugby for the Chiefs as well as the All Blacks and there is no other place I'd want to be right now then here in New Zealand."



Fellow loose forward Sam Cane, 21, added: "I am a proud Chiefs man and also love wearing the black jersey and playing for my country."



Halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 23, said he had a desire to further his career with the Chiefs and the national side.



"Being part of the All Blacks is a dream come true but I know I have to work hard to maintain my spot, firstly in the Chiefs and to push for further opportunities in the All Blacks.



"I have access to the best coaches in the world and am really enjoying all the environments that the variety of New Zealand rugby offers. I still have a lot to learn and feel this is the best place for me to do that." Kerr-Barlow said.



Chiefs coach Dave Rennie was delighted with the signings.



"Liam is an incredibly inspirational and passionate Chiefs man who has had a massive impact on our group of men, while Sam and Tawera are two terrific young men who have been a big part of the success at the Chiefs over the last couple of years," Rennie said.



"At such a young age they have already won two Super Rugby titles, played for the All Blacks and are a key part of the Chiefs' future."
