    Former All Black Richard Kahui has shed light on how he ended up playing for the Western Force


    Kahui says he was on holiday in early 2020 and received a call from his manager asking if he'd be keen.

    The 36 year old says his wife talked him into coming back to Super Rugby... following a seven year stint in Japan.



    The Force face the Chiefs in Hamilton from 4.35pm.
