My Take
Julian Savea was, in his prime, one of the most terrifying wings rugby has produced. At 192 cm and built like a battering ram, the Wellington-born All Black piled up tries across 54 caps between 2012 and 2017 and looked genuinely unstoppable at World Cup level. I have a soft spot for power wingers who run through tackles rather than around them, and Savea was the archetype. His move from Toulon back to Moana Pasifika feels like a homecoming to his Pasifika roots, which I find genuinely heartening. The Bus, as fans called him, earned his legend.
