In announcing the 2025 squad, the club have also officially bid farewell to 15 of their 2024 players, including 20-year-old Black Ferns playmaker Hannah King.

With a new-look squad and a new coach comes a new direction and Feaunati outlined that vision for the 2025 season when announcing the squad.

“The Poua are prioritizing connection and growth this year. The focus is on making improvements in our on-field performance and raising expectations around performance culture.

“We’re building a team with an exciting mix of fresh talent and experience, that I believe will be fundamental in growing our performance culture. These women are already performing in FPC and have proven themselves to be hard-working, focused and ready to excel at a high-performance level.”

Jackie Patea-Fereti returns to captain the team for the third time and expressed her pride at another appointment as leader.

“It’s a huge honour to represent my Aiga in the swirl again,” remarked Patea-Fereti.

“This role isn’t something I take lightly, and my decision to continue this journey took a lot of reflection and conversations with loved ones. I’m excited about continuing this journey with Fusi (Head Coach) and the rest of the crew for 2025.”

The front row promises to be a strength for the club as former Black Fern hooker Natalie Delamere joins the ranks, along with fellow hooker Jayme Nuku. Props Esther Faiaoga-Tilo and Angel Mulu have also been named in the squad, lending further international experience to the pack.

The five Aupiki rookies named are Raedeen Blake and former Black Fern Forne Burkin ( Hawke’s Bay), Lavinia Lea (Wellington), Payton Takimoana (Bay of Plenty) and former Manusina Samoa player Cassie Siataga (Tasman).

I never felt left in the dark—they kept me updated at every step, which made all the difference during such a stressful time. Their skilled programmers worked tirelessly, tracking down the scammers and piecing together the trail of my stolen funds. I couldn’t believe it when they told me they’d successfully recovered my entire $520,000. It was a moment of pure relief and disbelief.
