Dave Dennis has committed to the Wallabies until the next World Cup while his Waratahs teammate Rob Horne announced a one-year extension with the ARU on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Dennis has been one of the best backrowers in the Super Rugby competition over the last two years, form which was rewarded with all 15 of his Wallabies caps last season.
Although he missed out on a Test appearance against the British and Irish Lions in the recent three-match series loss, Dennis feels he still has plenty to offer new Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie.
His two-year deal will take in the 2015 World Cup in England.
“I really want to keep working hard to try and get back in the Test fold and contribute to winning a first ever Super Rugby title with the Waratahs,” said Dennis.
Dennis joins fellow Waratahs forwards Sekope Kepu, Wycliff Palu, Tatafu Polota-Nau and Benn Robinson in re-signing with the ARU and NSW franchise.
Centre Horne inked a contract extension until the end of 2014.
Horne, who took his Test cap tally to 15 when he came off the bench during the second Test against the Lions in Melbourne last month, will be hoping for a decent run injury-free next season before again weighing up his future.
“I’m really pleased to be staying in Australia, especially with so much to look forward to in the coming season,” Horne, 24, said.
“I am really excited at what I think the NSW group can achieve.”
