 I guess Savea is getting a "break". Glad Ioane has recovered enough start and it will be good to see Fifita start. He's a work in progress but seeing him running at full speed is a sight to behold.  Of course Retallick is still not available so when you take into account the front row changes there are a fair few changes from what will be the top AB team.

...Ardie Savea launched his own clothing label the other day. Maybe he should 've waited til he got to Paris, fashion capital of the world. But Ardie has gone down the pecking order with his brother by the looks - Hansen does that to motivate players to push themselves a bit harder i think..

They also want him to beef up as they need heavy tackling from their lose forwards. He has other qualities but they are not enough except off the bench. Anyway he’ll get game time in other games on the tour.
