The Chiefs have named stalwarts Charlie Ngatai and Sam Cane as their co-captains for the 2018 Super Rugby season. Cane has co-captained the team for the past two seasons, helping him to further develop his impressive leadership skills. The 26 year old is part of the All Blacks leadership group and has thrived in a leadership role at the Gallagher Chiefs alongside Aaron Cruden, who departed to France at the end of the 2017 season. The loose forward has notched up 95 caps for the team, and was part of the sides who won the 2012 and 2013 Investec Super Rugby titles. A relentless hard worker, Cane always leads from the front and the consistency he brings to the field is a huge asset to the team. Charlie Ngatai has strong leadership experience, including captaining the Ma¯ori All Blacks and Taranaki Bulls provincial side. A fan favourite in Chiefs country, Ngatai has 43 caps to his name.
