Savea sensational in tasty 10/3 wincast
Having crashed over three times in New Zealand’s demolition of France in the quarter-final, with Les Bleus among Europe’s elite nations in this sport, Savea helped cement his status as one of the best wingers in world rugby.
While he plays out wide, it is his willingness and intelligence to run in-field which also strikes fear into opponents, while he has an exceptional understanding with his centre Ma’a Nonu who more often than not knows exactly where he is.
The All Blacks’ ball speed is quite a defining factor of their fearsome attacking play, often culminating in Savea receiving, after it is quickly shipped out wide, creating an overlap on opposition defenders. In this scenario, there is always one winner, as Savea has shown no less than eight times during this tournament.
He’s a Jonah
Savea has already surpassed Lomu’s achievement of seven tries at a World Cup and will have eyes on breaking his record of 15 World Cup tries. If he plays to his best in the final against Australia, he is more than capable of such an accomplishment.
Savea spark reason behind All Blacks brilliance
It is already being suggested that he can be the main man for the southern hemisphere side when captain Dan Carter retires after the final.
