Du Plessis extends his stay at Montpellier

He will stay at the French club until 2019, a rare highlight in a season which has seen him sidelined through injury.

The 23-year-old, who arrived in France from the Bulls last season, hasn't played since injuring his knee in a pre-season friendly against Connacht on August 11.

But he could return on Sunday when Montpellier take on triple European champions Toulon in Marseille in the Top 14.

"Montpellier is a very good club and I think this is a chance for me to develop here. It was an easy decision to make," said Du Plessis.
