With All Black jerseys up for grabs, Crusaders utility Leicester Fainga’anuku has admitted that the black jersey was never his biggest goal growing up.

Fainaga’anuku has been in exceptional form this season and calls are being made for the 21-year-old to be included in the All Blacks squad.

He says growing up there were always some boys saying they want to be an All Black but all he wanted was to give back to his family and support them.

Fainaga’anuku says one thing he loves about the Crusaders is that they create good people before good rugby players and that is always a first.

Meanwhile, the Crusaders will take on the Western Force in the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman at 7.05 tonight.

In other matches, the Reds will take on the Blues at 9.45 tonight, the Highlanders will play the Waratahs at 7.05pm tomorrow, the Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 9.45pm tomorrow and the Chiefs will face the Rebels at 5pm Sunday.
