Twenty-four-year-old All Black loose forward Dalton Papalii has been named as captain of the Blues for the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific season.

@kiwimurph that sucks, I was just going to comment how good it is Goodhue must be over his, and hoping he has an injury/knock free season, but tempered somewhat now with BB having concussion symptoms.

@taniwharugby at least they're cautious. One of the real benefits of central contacting

Solid pick in Papali'i as skipper. I remember him at St Kents, very good player and leader. I think this says that Robinson isn't guaranteed a place in the run own team so can't take on captain duties.
Concerning that Beaudy's concussion issues are still with him months after their last game?

sorry to hear. Edit Dalton sounds a good captain pick to me but will that be an issue with so many good loosies? Or is he now a dedicated (and way out in front of everyone else) 7?

I'd say he's clearly the best 7, so everyone else is fighting over 6/ 8/ lock or some combination therein.
