Ardie Savea makes decision on post World Cup future. – Huge Rugby News

All Blacks and Hurricanes back-rower Ardie Savea has committed to the Hurricanes and NZRU until at least 2021.

Speculation was rife surrounding the 25 year olds future with many believing he would follow his brother Julian and take up a contract in France.

If World Rugby presented an award for ‘The Lid of Year’ at the recent awards in Monaco it’s a sure thing that Savea would have been up for nomination. His future was not as sure a thing as the quality of his lid as reports had surfaced earlier this year that Savea had agreed a 3 year deal with French side Pau.

On the announcement of the Ben Smith’s signing, Pau President Bernard Pontneau cleared up the speculation.

“It is for certain that he will not be coming,”
“It’s disappointing but it’s also the risk you take when wanting to recruit a young player.”

It will be a huge boost to New Zealand Rugby who have had a heavy month on the departure front with confirmation that coach Steve Hansen, Nehe Milner-Skudder and Ben Smith will all depart post World Cup.
