Ardie you are a true gentleman and deserving of the captaincy. Always humble and enlightening with true respect of others you play with. A lesson a lot of the younger generations coming through will look up to and apply. God speed, god bless
He is a perfect captain. Such a great player.... go Ardie... from a one eyed Crusader/Cantab, cheers Cobber! I have loved the way you have played for years. You Deserve this Captains Title, maybe your could become perfect by moving down South.... I'm just being silly now! Well done, well deserved!
The most beautiful thing about the ALL BLACK operation is the way they bring out the best in every person involved. To be this good for so long, both forms of intelligence need to be developed, upper & lower. When The ALL BLACKS get this right, it's such a beautiful thing. ARDIE, What a strong but humble man.
All blacks just getting started, a lot of passion and they are still wounded from that Ireland series, I reckon this is going to be a blowout, I also think they win the RWC.
This man is one of the greats. Seriously. He earned that world player of the year, when he was ripped off and it was given to Du toit in 2019. He was also ripped off in super rugby where he got the try down.
@@michaelmoynihan9591 Yeah. They do that all the time you muppet. Did you miss the 2011 World Cup year. Try and keep up mate. What happened in 2019? I made a shit tonne of money betting on South Africa to win three months out of the World Cup.
Love Ardie savea but not 2019,he was not overlooked, Pieter steph was outstanding 18 months before then, Ardie was mostly used from the bench and a bench player does not win the world rugby player of the year award, Kieran read was the incumbent number 8 and captain then with cane at 7, no impact player ever won that award..
@@anthonymokootherock1362 Are you serious Savea’s worst run of the year was twice as good as Du Toit. Savea carried 5 guys on his back and beat 2 tacklers, set up tries on almost every rub. What rugby were you watching? He was by far the standout player. By. A. Country. Mile. Mate
@@poerava I repeat, he played mostly as a substitute in 2016 to 2019, no impact player has ever won the World rugby's player of the year, he is a great player no doubt, but he isn't entitled. Not to say it would be undeserved if he won the award, he didn't even make the nominees in 2019,this year would be no different, the team that will win the world cup, will have their player be named the world rugby player of the year, simply as that.
@@anthonymokootherock1362 What are you talking about? Many players of the year have been reserves a number of times in the year that they won the award. 2011 France lost the final in the World Cup but Dusatoir won the award. Savea started most games in 2019 for the all black which is what the award assesses. Not previous years. Savea was a nominee in 2019 for player of the year also. Along with Kolbe, Curry, Taufete, Alun Wyn Jones. Try and keep up buddy.
@@michaelmoynihan9591that's ironic considering players from all over the world including ex players regard him as the best 8 in the world and yet here you are a Australian UA-cam comments specialist saying the opposite!! I wonder who's perspective has more ground?? 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t say he’s the greatest number 8 ever but right now he is definitely the best number 8 in the world right now.. I would say Zin Zan Broke is our greatest All Black number 8 of all time
Fairly sure that NZ will not release their top players for the match against the Lions as the French are in NZ for a 3 match series. For that matter I doubt the Aussies will either. It will be some sort of Mickey Mouse Baa baas match like 1989 all over again. Everyone who knows the game realises that adding in Wallabies only weakens the potential team!
It’s the NZRU cheap a$$’s who won’t pay for a boom mic consultant at press events. So that they can save money and like their pockets while the public can’t hear press conferences. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Shocking lack of care for their customer base and funders of the all blacks. The public who’s tax dollars find the AB’s.
@@Intergalatikk Hey mate. I posted the link but it looks like they don’t allow that. Look up NZ rugby financial statements. Tonnes of government money, grants and money from various ministries in government. The all blacks are one of the biggest brands for NZ
Fair play to Eddie Jones who at least turns up to press conferences, unlike the New Zealand cry babies. The NZ captain Savea didn't have the grace to turn up to the agreed Bledisloe presser with Slipper for the Aussie journalists. After they lost the series against Ireland Foster and Cane (Laurel and Hardy) cancelled the presser so they didn't have to face the hacks. Distinct lack of the cohones in that New Zealand team if they are afraid of journalists.

God bless us all
Respect and agree your comment ...Ardie keeps it real. (Utmost respect btw)
Love this guy. Embodiment of the rugby spirit. Consistently hardworking man in the game and a humble gentleman outside. From a springboks supporter.
Ardie is very humble man, GO ALL BLACKS
Very few like Ardie ~ you Guyz are SO blessed to have him
And, as he says, he’s got some really great Leaders on the Park with him
> it spreads the load and gives him extra space and creative movement, breathing capacity (those split seconds of advantage SO crucial)
A really great position to be in
• Quite honestly, the building blocks the AB Team now has is just breathtaking
So, it is a given that this Game is going to deliver big time…
Good luck everybody :
we are all most certainly highly stoked for all of you playing, coaching and supporting (on / off the Park)
Imagine the Stadium with such massive capacity to overflow? And all the Families being part of❓🏉
A massive milestone
and joie to cherish
for a Lifetime
Yes, good luck to the fullest…and THANKS STACKS for the tremendous spectacle unto entertainment and participation
You Guyz take the Game of RF to unimaginable levels of super joie and skill…❗️
👊🔥‼️
Ardie you are a true gentleman and deserving of the captaincy.
Always humble and enlightening with true respect of others you play with.
A lesson a lot of the younger generations coming through will look up to and apply.
God speed, god bless
This guy is brilliant, congrats Ardie
Much respect. Great interview Ardie.
By the looks of it the interview was done at southbank on the river, not far from Crown casino and Flinders St train station for those interested..
He is a perfect captain. Such a great player.... go Ardie... from a one eyed Crusader/Cantab, cheers Cobber! I have loved the way you have played for years. You Deserve this Captains Title, maybe your could become perfect by moving down South.... I'm just being silly now! Well done, well deserved!
Cheers for all ya effort bro. Canes an abs. All the best for the guys tonight
Seems like a great guy and boy what a competitor!

ARDIE, What a strong but humble man.
He called Tom Hooper an 'uso' 😊.
Good on you, Ardie.
Ardie! ✊🏼
Ardie will lead the only way he knows how, from the front and with his heart!
❤ USO, YOU GOT THIS 👍.....LETS GO ALL BLACKS, BACK N BACKING BLACK ❤
Best in the world bei !!
All blacks just getting started, a lot of passion and they are still wounded from that Ireland series, I reckon this is going to be a blowout, I also think they win the RWC.
Come to me for more rugby calls 👍
Ardie Savea the beast..
Love from pacific brother from solomon island..
Genuinely think Ardie is the rightful ABs skip!
Genuine bloke.
Bring it home boys, lets give eddie a good spanking for those cheeky interviews😂gotta love that old fella🤙🏾🔥🇳🇿

I hate the ABs, but god-damn I love Ardie Savea. He is such a good guy.
I love the cut throat gestures, they're so classy.
@@ciaranoconnor4027 I love arm chair critics throwing hissy fits. Real classy 😂
lol algood everyone hates us because we are hard to beat

Should be permanent captain

yess USO🖤
Go All Blacks 💪

@@michaelmoynihan9591you’re right, best player ever

Brother you are to lead the All Blacks...The mana is in the man..The man makes his Mana..
Ahhh that's an ugly filter on the footage. Mixed in with some clean footage. Not great. Appreciate putting the whole IV though.
It’s the NZRU cheap a$$’s who won’t pay for a boom mic consultant at press events. So that they can save money and like their pockets while the public can’t hear press conferences. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Shocking lack of care for their customer base and funders of the all blacks. The public who’s tax dollars find the AB’s.
@@poerava I couldn’t find anything online about the ABs and NZR being tax payer funded. Can you share a source for that?
@@Intergalatikk
Hey mate. I posted the link but it looks like they don’t allow that.
Look up NZ rugby financial statements. Tonnes of government money, grants and money from various ministries in government.
The all blacks are one of the biggest brands for NZ
The best man for the job unless your names Whitelock
Have a screamer😂😂😂
Will be hard picking the upcoming ANZAC squad, both him and bobby V are the best no. 8s.
No way Bobby V gets picked over Ardie
unless you go valetini at 8 and ardie at 7 🔥
Bobby V 😂😂😂😂 he ain’t got nothing on Ardie mate
@@zechariahfaatiga5676yes actually I’ve always thought Ardie was a better number 7 Sam cane is nothing in comparison
Easy: Rob at 6 Ardie at 8
Rob is tall enough to be a lineout option and Ardie is a little faster off the base
Fair play to Eddie Jones who at least turns up to press conferences, unlike the New Zealand cry babies.

you are salty
Yes you won the series in nz. We all know you are the greatest rugby team in history.
😭😭😭
Every time the ABs get accused of being arrogant etc one of the actual players shows our kiwi culture. well done Ardie
Can't wait bro's woo hoo ATTACK
He should be captain him or whitelock . Kane needed to retire last year or before ..Kane amd forster need to goo man
Cane has been great this year numbskull
In Ellis Park 2022, one of the toughest places on earth to win, who scored the first try?
Arm chair critics are always a laugh
@@camwells9726wow he's been great for TWO games,So how do you explain the past two years that cane has been cap??
@@YallNotWhite_YourPINK he had a serious neck injury and surgery representing his country , how’s your rugby career going ?
