Openside flankers may be one of the most important players in the modern game, but they don’t usually have the speed to score a try like this.
When you think of the great Number 7s in world rugby, like a Richie McCaw or a David Pocock or a Sean O’Brien, you think of power, ferocious tackling, ability to turn over the ball and line-out options.
What you don’t think of is the sort of pace that can blitz through an entire team. With that in mind we present to you 19-year-old Ardie Savea. The flanker is indeed the brother of All Black speedster Julian so we shouldn’t be surprised he is fleet of foot but for a flanker, this is ridiculous as he burns through the Northalnd defence while playing for Wellington in the ITM Cup.
