The Crusaders have today confirmed that David Havili will captain the side for the upcoming Super Rugby season.
As reported by the Herald earlier this week, Havili will become the first back to captain Super Rugby’s most successful franchise. He’ll also be the first of Pasifika descent.
Havili replaces current All Blacks skipper Scott Barrett after it was decided that leading at both Super Rugby and international levels was too much to ask.
His first outing as captain could come at the end of the month when the Crusaders host the Blues in a preseason match at Kirwee.
More to come.
