My Take
Ardie Savea is simply one of the most electrifying loose forwards the game has ever produced, and I'll die on that hill. Born in Wellington and raised with that fierce Pasifika pride, he came up through the Hurricanes and All Blacks ranks playing in the massive shadow of his brother Julian — and then quietly, relentlessly, carved out a legacy that stands entirely on its own. His engine is outrageous, his ball-carrying is physical without being reckless, and his read of the breakdown borders on telepathic. Winning the 2023 World Rugby Player of the Year was a long time coming, and the fact that he then committed to Moana Pasifika to help build Pasifika rugby's future just makes you respect the guy even more. Wellington was right to name him Wellingtonian of the Year — the city's rugby soul runs through him.
