Former All Black winger Sitiveni Sivivatu hopes to help make “great rugby players of the future” after joining fifth-tier side Marlborough as a technical advisor.
Sivivatu retired from playing in 2011 after a career that saw him capped 46 times by New Zealand and play for clubs such as Chiefs, Clermont and Castres.
The 42-year-old, who lives near the Wiltshire club, is now working with players across all ranges at the side whose men’s first team play in the English rugby’s Regional 1 South West league.
“I’m there to help make them good rugby players or great rugby players of the future. It would be good to sit back and watch if they make it to international level,” Sivivatu told BBC Radio Wiltshire.
“I think it’ll just give them confidence to do what they want on the field as well as skills, technique.
“Ball skills, attacking, defence, whatever ways they want, I’m there to help to make them good rugby players – or great rugby players – in the future.”
