Taulafo hopes to gain more caps for Samoa over the summer

London Wasps prop forward Sakaria Taulafo has agreed to a new three-year contract at the Premiership club.

The 27-year-old Samoa international joined in December from Tasman Makos on an 18-month deal and has made 16 starts since his arrival.

Wasps director of rugby Tony Hanks said: "His positive attitude and desire have allowed him to rack up an impressive number of appearances.

"That's a reflection of his work and why he is an asset to the squad."

Taulafo added: "Week in week out we play in the toughest tournaments and against some of the best players in the world.

"It is because of the great group of players, coaches and staff at London Wasps that I have been able to embrace that challenge and am very happy to be signing with the club for the long term.

"Wasps is a very special place and the people here have become like a second family to me."
