Ardie Savea and Jordie Barrett recommit to New Zealand Rugby

New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes have re-signed two key players, with loose forward Ardie Savea and outside back Jordie Barrett re-committing to the national body and the Super Rugby club.
 
24-year-old Savea and 21-year-old Barrett have recommitted through to the end of the 2019 season.

All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen said: "It's great to have two young players recommitting to New Zealand Rugby and their Super Rugby club.  Ardie and Jordie are both incredibly talented footballers in their own right, have been outstanding in our environment and done the jersey proud and we look forward to working with both of them."

25-Test Savea made his Super Rugby debut for the Hurricanes in 2013 and All Blacks Test debut in 2016, while Barrett made his Super and Test debut in 2017. He has played five Tests.
