Angus Ta'avao has thanked the Chiefs for allowing him to return to the Blues and be with family in Auckland

8 November 2023

The former All Blacks prop will rejoin the Blues, who he debuted for back in 2012, after a five-season stint with the Chiefs.

He says with family in Auckland, he realised he needed to be based there and it's not necessarily down to a serious spinal injury suffered last year.

The Super Rugby squads will be announced tomorrow.
