New Zealand's Pasifika Rugby community have officially welcomed Saveatama Eroni Clarke this month, in an intimate Ava Usu ceremony at Auckland University's Fale Pasifika.
The former All Black was appointed as New Zealand Rugby's first Pasifika Engagement Manager in June last year, but an official ceremony was delayed because of Covid-19.
Saveatama said he felt honoured to be acknowledged, but ultimately it was an occasion to celebrate the Pasifika community who do so much for the game.
