Hurricanes 2022

Stargazer

All Blacks loose forward Ardie Savea has signed a four-year deal with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) which will keep him in Aotearoa through to the end of the 2025 season.

Savea, who captained the All Blacks for the first time in 2021 and produced consistently compelling performances throughout the Test season, has also extended his contract with the Hurricanes.

As part of his new contract, Savea will have the option of playing his rugby offshore for a period of six-months during the 2024 season.

Savea has recommitted to the Hurricanes until 2023.

So he hasn't committed to any franchise for 2025 ...

Stargazer

@machpants Yeah, was thinking the same thing.

MP?

He may go MP afterwards, but I think a Japanese or Europe paycheck may sway him

@canes4life average

Stargazer

@canes4life Very Wellington; with a bit of Horwhenua-Kapiti blue.

@stargazer if it was Wellington it would be mainly all black.

Yeetyaah

I saw Bailyn Sullivan out at a pub in Tauranga tonight. Had a wee yarn and thanked him for his efforts for Waikato and wished him luck at the Canes next year.
