World Player of the Year Ardie Savea on Sunday announced he will play for Moana Pasifika next season in a major coup for the Super Rugby side.
Savea, who played club rugby in Japan in 2024, said he was sad to end more than a decade’s association at the Hurricanes.
Savea’s deal with Moana Pasifika is for three seasons and leaves him eligible to represent New Zealand through to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. Moana will hope the dynamic Savea, who has played 84 times for New Zealand, can change their fortunes, with the club having struggled since joining Super Rugby for the 2022 season.
