Ardie Savea’s best spot in the Hurricanes and All Blacks’ back row is a regular topic of debate.
Every All Blacks rugby watcher has an opinion on Ardie Savea’s best numbered jersey. Except, for now, the man himself, as he focuses on hauling up his Hurricanes against the Crusaders wearing No 7. Savea leads out the 1-4 Canes at Sky Stadium on Sunday against the competition leaders, in the jersey in which he shot to prominence, and where plenty of learned rugby types will tell you he’s best suited for the All Blacks, too.
Ellis said they needed to be accurate and execute, but knew Yellows, who beat Old Boys-Marist 25-7 last week, would have a point to prove as well. He said it was the first derby game, but he knew they would meet again in the second round later in the season too. “I’ve been in this situation before too, so we’ve got to keep out feet on the ground. It’s a long season and we’re still building and trying to figure out combinations.” He said they were heading in the right direction, but had to play for 80 minutes, not 60, as they did in their 21-17 win over Kia Toa last week.

Just weeks short of his 20th birthday, Ruben Love will start at first-five for the Hurricanes against the Crusaders.
In a pre-season interview, Hurricanes coach Jason Holland didn’t hesitate when asked to label his player to watch from the 38-man squad. Now, seven weeks into Super Rugby Aotearoa, all eyes will be on 19-year-old Ruben Love in his first start in the No 10 jersey opposite All Blacks pivot Richie Mo’unga at Sky Stadium on Sunday (3.35pm). After three unconvincing weeks from utility Orbyn Leger, following Jackson Garden-Bachop’s season-ending injury, Holland was jolted into action with the gifted Manawatu product to face the Crusaders.
