Kini Naholo and Peniasi Malimali

The New Zealand Super Rugby franchises have named their 2023 squad with the notable inclusion of Kini Naholo for the Hurricanes and Peniasi Malimali for the Chiefs.

Kini Naholo, the younger brother of former All Black Waisake Naholo, is one of the five new players in the Hurricanes' 38-man squad for next year, with former All Blacks first-five Brett Cameron also heading to the capital.

Malimali on the other hand is a rising star for Counties Manukau and is believed to have a similar style of game as Vinaya Habosi.
