GEAR, SCHWALGER HEADLINE DRAGONS TO FACE FORCE
The Asia Pacific Dragons have named six internationally capped players in their 24-man squad to take on the Western Force on their pre-season fixture this Saturday (31 January) at McGillivray Oval, Mount Claremont.
The Dragons, coached by legendary All Blacks centre Tana Umaga, is an invitational team comprised of experienced and up-and-coming players from Asia and the Pacific Islands that have played at a standard of ITM Cup, Asteron Life Super Rugby or Test rugby.
The squad is headlined by former All Blacks outside back, Rico Gear (19 Tests), and former Chiefs hooker and Samoan captain Mahonri Schwalger (40 Tests), who will start in the front row.
The team features Test internationals Taniela Koroi (Fiji) Michael Little (Fiji), Junior Poluleuligaga (Samoa) and Hale T-Pole (Tonga), as well as former Maori All Blacks fullback Willy Walker and ex-New Zealand Sevens representative, Onosai Auva’a.
