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.
