Ardie Savea has launched a plea to New Zealand’s rugby authorities to consider following South Africa’s player eligibility rules or risk being behind the times.
However, speaking to the New Zealand media, Savea said he would like to see the All Blacks align with the Springboks when it comes to selecting overseas-based players. “The country that’s proven that it works, that it helps, is South Africa. The majority of their team’s playing and they come together and win the World Cup.
Savea is just one of a large contingent of All Blacks currently plying their trade in Japan. Lock pair Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock, captain Sam Cane and halfbacks Aaron Smith and Richie Mo’unga all took up League One contracts after the World Cup.
