Listen here to what David Havili himself has got to say. What a legend; a Crusaders great! He gave his all, each and every game. Wore the jersey with pride. Won so many titles (8!). And so humble. We will miss him. Wishing David and his family all the best for the next chapter! ♥️🖤

Absolutely gutted about this news, but we knew it would be coming one day ... Captain David Havili has used an out-clause in his contract and will be leaving the Crusaders & NZ after the NPC. He has signed in Japan. Thank you, David, for all you've done for the Crusaders! Thanks for the memories!♥️🖤

Congratulations to Taha Kemara, Rivez Reihana and Tahlor Cahill on being named in the Māori All Blacks for the game against Japan XV. Awesome experience and opportunity! Info: www.crusaders.co.nz/latest/news/... More info: www.allblacks.com/news/watch-l...
