    All Blacks flanker Du'Plessis Kirifi has reported he's not far away from a return to the Super Rugby Pacific picture, but is warning his teammates not to take Moana Pasifika lightly tonight

    All Blacks flanker Du'Plessis Kirifi has reported he's not far away from a return to the Super Rugby Pacific picture, but is warning his teammates not to take Moana Pasifika lightly tonight


    The newly announced Hurricanes co-captain claimed the competitiveness of the opening week's games has him motivated to come back as soon as possible from a grade-two calf tear, sustained during pre-season training.

    Although early suspicions had him out longer term, Kirifi credited the Hurricanes medical staff for their expertise.
