Position: Loose Forward Born: 14/10/1993 Physical: 1.90m, 99kgs (6'2", 220lb) Test Debut: v Wales in Auckland 11 June 2016 THE DYNAMIC Ardie Savea continues to go from strength to strength in the All Blacks, after he burst onto the national scene in 2012 at just 18 years old, making his provincial debut for Wellington. He impressed many with a series of electric performances at openside flanker and No. 8 and is blessed with speed, athleticism and his ability to stay alive in the tackle is second to none. The younger brother of All Blacks winger Julian made his Super Rugby debut for the Hurricanes in 2013, then played for New Zealand Under 20 and later that year toured with the All Blacks on their year-end tour as a non-playing apprentice. He finished the year winning the New Zealand Age Grade award. His leadership potential had been apparent for some time - he was head boy at Rongotai College, captained his First XV side, the New Zealand Schools side, and his Wellington provincial side. Away from rugby he enjoys fashion and launched his own clothing range in 2017. Show less «
