Former Poverty Bay player John Stewart (pictured left) will wear the jersey of Super Rugby’s newest franchise in the 2016 competition. Fijian Stewart has been named in coach Mark Hammett’s 34-man Sunwolves squad. Winger/midfield back Stewart played three Heartland Championship seasons for Poverty Bay under coach Grainger Heikell. He was the Bay’s player of the year for the 2010 season.

He has represented Fiji in rugby sevens and was in the Fijian Warriors (Fiji A) squad this year but did not make the national team for the Rugby World Cup.
