Patrick Pellegrini will rejoin Moana Pasifika’s starting lineup this Saturday to form a lethal playmaker partnership with William Havili, who will both steer Moana Pasifika as they play their final home game of 2026 against the Reds.
Havili has made three 50/22 kicks in play this Super Rugby Pacific season, the joint-most of any player in the competition. He’s also made at least one tackle break in each of his last eight games (13 in total).
The 27-year-old has been a constant for Moana Pasifika this season, leading by example and putting his body on the line with some courageous tackles to show for it.
Pellegrini last played at Super Round in Christchurch and returns to the field from injury.
For the second consecutive match, Moana Pasifika is offering a two-for-one ticket deal to allow everyone to come and enjoy the game which kicks off at the family friendly time of 4:35pm. Ticket prices start at just $10 for Adults and $5 for Kids.
Saturday 23rd May
North Harbour Stadium, 4:35pm NZT
