Brumbies and Wallabies forwards Sam Carter and Scott Fardy have both re-signed with Australian rugby for a further two years.
The contract extensions mean both will remain with Australian rugby until the end of 2017.
30-year-old utility Fardy has become a crucial part of Australia’s forward pack in recent years after making his debut in 2013, playing 20 matches for the Wallabies, predominantly at blindside flanker.
25-year-old lock Sam Carter has played 11 matches for the Wallabies, and was a regular starter under Ewen McKenzie in 2014 after a strong season with the Brumbies.
Carter said he was thrilled to remain in Australia.
“It was a really enjoyable experience being part of the Wallabies program last year, and one I’ll continue to work hard towards being part of in the future,” Carter said.
“Right now, we’re in the middle of a really important campaign with the Brumbies, but I’ll be putting my best foot forward to hopefully push my way into Test selection later in the year.”
Fardy said there was plenty to look forward to for the Wallabies at this year’s Rugby World Cup and beyond.
“Being part of a Rugby World Cup is obviously a huge milestone all players in Australia want to be part of, and I think that will bring the best out of most players throughout the year,” Fardy said.
“That’s exciting for Australian Rugby, while I think the squad is building nicely for the future and are in a good position to have success over the next few years.”
