MELBOURNE : All Blacks enforcer Ardie Savea was quick to regret his throat-slitting gesture towards an opponent and has accepted his one-week ban, his Wellington Hurricanes coach said on Wednesday.
Loose forward Savea was sanctioned by a judicial panel on Tuesday for going"against the spirit of good sportsmanship". Savea's loss is a big blow for the undefeated Hurricanes who host last year's runnersup, the Auckland Blues, at home on Saturday. Holland said he was not sure what led to Savea making the threatening gesture at Louwrens as he walked off to the sin bin.
