A Surprising Switch
All Blacks star Ardie Savea has made a headline-grabbing decision by signing with Moana Pasifika until 2027. This move has raised eyebrows, especially considering Moana Pasifika's struggles in the Super Rugby competition. Savea, known for his fierce competitiveness, is leaving the successful Hurricanes to join a team that finished 11th last season with a record of four wins and ten losses.

Legendary Doubts
Not everyone is convinced by Savea's decision. All Blacks legend Sir John Kirwan has openly questioned the switch. “I’m not convinced,” Kirwan said, reflecting a sentiment shared by many fans. Despite the skepticism, Savea remains confident in his choice. “What I’m looking forward to most is proving a lot of people wrong,” Savea stated emphatically. “I’m fully honest… proving people that Moana Pasifika is a great team.”

A Heartfelt Decision
The move to Moana Pasifika is more than just a professional decision for Savea; it’s deeply personal. By joining the franchise, Savea gets to honor his Samoan heritage alongside his brother Julian.
