Ardie Savea shows off his side-stepping skills to score a crucial try against the Highlanders
- 2561
Known for his hard-hitting, strong ball carrying and work at the breakdown, Ardie Savea is a well rounded flanker.
However, the All Blacks flanker showed off another one of his attributes that he was well-known for in the earlier stages of his career.
The Hurricanes showed off his side stepping ability after a nice break by Ben Lam put the flanker into space and he stepped the Highlanders cover defence to score a fantastic try.
