Another member of the Hurricanes’ title-chasing 2026 Super Rugby Pacific squad has confirmed they will be heading overseas at the end of the campaign.
Samoan international halfback Ereatara Enari is heading to Wales to play under Filo Tiatia at United Rugby Championship club Dragons next season, ending a decade-long professional career in New Zealand.
“It’s a bittersweet feeling to be leaving an environment that provides such a safe space for both of us and a lot of joy both on and off the field, but we’ve been praying for God to open doors overseas and here we are,” Enari said in a statement.
“After 10 years of my career in New Zealand, it’s time for a new challenge in a foreign environment and we are definitely not closing the door on New Zealand for good. It’s such a privilege to serve this team, and the main goal between now and July is to finish the job in front of us for our people.”
After three seasons with Moana Pasifika, Enari was signed by the Hurricanes to provide cover for Cam Roigard when Wellington legend TJ Perenara left for Japan in 2024. He had previously played for the Crusaders, making nine appearances across five championship-winning campaigns.
