Watch: Ardie Savea fronts questions about move to Moana Pasifika

2:24 pm today

Ardie Savea, together with Moana Pasifika's Tana Umaga and Michael Jones, are talking to press about his decision to move to the Super Rugby side.

Savea has played in 84 matches for the All Blacks.

He joins his brother and former All Black, Julian Savea, at Moana Pasifika, after a season playing for the Kobelco Kobe Steelers in the Japan Rugby League One Competition.

In March, Savea called on New Zealand Rugby to consider updating the country's eligibility rules or risk being left behind as the sport continues to evolve.

Savea left New Zealand in December to take up a lucrative one-season contract with Kobe Steelers in the Japan Rugby League One.

World Rugby's reigning Player of the Year wants New Zealand bosses to reconsider the rule that only allows domestic-based players to be selected for the All Blacks.
