Former All Black backrower, Ardie Savea, will captain Moana Pasifika in the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season.

With 94 Test caps for New Zealand, Savea brings a wealth of experience in his debut year with the team.

He is honored to be named captain, saying he felt it was his purpose to lead.

“When I signed with the team Tana Umaga spoke to me about it and I went away and thought about it. After spending some time talking to my wife and those close to me, I realised it was the right decision to say yes.”
