Watch: Julian Savea scores Wellington's opening try with first touch of the game
By Peteso Cannon
He mightn't be playing for the All Blacks at the weekend but that doesn't mean Savea has taken his foot off the pedal.
He had to wait until the 12th minute before he got his hands on the ball, then opted for a Samoan sidestep straight over the top of the first centre.
Savea would go on to put in a strong performance as Wellington ran out forty points to twenty seven winners, letting Hawke's bay back into the game late on.

(I don't actually think England should do this, given Chessum, Itoje, and Martin are so good. I guess CCS could be the fourth choice lock, and an injury crisis at lock could see CCS, Curry, Underhill, and Earl all on the field at once).

England has to be Grandad [for everyone!], but a bit of a Bad Santa and not always loveable.
I am not convinced that they would not gain more from a potential tour win in 2025 with all of their players involved than by withdrawing them and saying 'se ya in 2027' though.
The French national team was cut a huge amount of slack by LNR to prepare for a home RWC in 2023 and look how that turned out. So I am not sure French self-interest leads in the same direction as Galthie thinks it does.
