Black Ferns loose forward Kennedy Simon MNZM has been retained as Chiefs Manawa captain ahead of the 2024 Sky Super Rugby Aupiki season. It will be Simon’s second season leading the Chiefs Manawa after the retirement of Les Elder. She’s a weapon on the field and a fabulous role model off it,” Chiefs Manawa head coach Crystal Kaua said. We’ve come in off a heavy break but I think everyone has been able to train over the Christmas period. The 27-year-old made her Black Ferns debut in 2019 after touring Japan with the Black Ferns Sevens Development team earlier that year and has since become the national co-captain.
