Reigning World Player of the Year Ardie Savea has signed with Moana Pasifika for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season and beyond.

As first reported by the NZ Herald, Savea and both clubs confirmed the move this afternoon.

The deal is believed to be a three-year commitment with NZR, maintaining Savea’s eligibility for the All Blacks until the end of 2027.

His switch will see his 11-year stint with the Hurricanes come to an end, where he debuted in 2013 and helped win a Super Rugby title in 2016.

He will re-unite with his brother Julian once again, having played together previously at the Hurricanes and with the All Blacks.

“I’ve got massive respect for my Hurricanes family and I loved serving them for 11 years,” Savea said in a statement.

“But I think it’s the right time for a change and I spent a lot of quiet time with my family thinking about things before making this decision.

“To have this team show the love and support they have for me and my family is special. Knowing that, regardless of anything that might happen, they will look after me and my family – I think that means a lot.”

Savea has Samoan heritage and is keen to represent his culture and give back to his roots.

“It will be huge to give back to my heritage and my culture in such a meaningful way,” he said.

“My brother Julian has told me that this team was made for us so I can’t wait to get started.”

Hurricanes CEO Avan Lee praised the impact that Savea has had on the club, and wished him well at his new team.

“Ardie is a Hurricanes legend and always will be,” Lee said in a statement.

“We are all sad to see him go as he has made a massive contribution to our club. On behalf of everyone associated with the Hurricanes, we all wish him the very best.”

80% of Moana Pasifika’s roster must be eligible for one of the smaller pacific nations.
This is in line with NZ franchises and their 80% that must be eligible for the all Blacks.
Moana Pasifika are allowed 3 X All Blacks.
Having the best player in the world in their team will help massively. His influence and what experience will lift the entire team.
It’s a great move for everyone.

What is the point of the MP team? NZ can’t support 5 teams let alone 6. Aspirational but flawed idea playing out exactly like sceptics thought. Losing money, not performing, and not helping the PI international teams.

A massive boost for Moana.

Desperate move made by new zealand. They will be Shambol by boks if they will come with squared they won series with England. They seemed all over the show. England were not good enough to win the series let alone drawing it. They are bad, an isn’t good for rugby. New zealand is no longer benchmark anymore of rugby standard , their decline were so quick and huge within short space of time.

NZR have done a deal to keep him eligible, interesting. Could we see players playing in Super Rugby eligible even if not playing for one of their country’s SR sides?

Antoine Dupont undergoes surgery on injured knee ahead of long absence

Rugby incident, happens scores of times in a game. Dupont wasn’t even hit with much force, Beirne just clears him and force is added from behind from Furlong.

We can’t have special treatment for France just because their star is the one who gets unlucky.

There is already a lack of clarity around actual Written decisions and how they differ from bans.

For example, Mauvaka the official written decision states Mauvaka to have made a ‘reckless’, ‘deliberate’, shot ‘to the head’ of a ‘player in a vulnerable position’ on the ground. That’s a high level entry ban of 10 weeks. However, the press release did not show ‘reckless’ or ‘vulnerable player’ ticked alloweing Mauvaka to enter at the 6 match mid range.

Similarly Ntamack’s written report showed that it was a ‘reckless’, ‘head shot’ with ‘injury’. The injury was a fully displaced nose bone and Ntamack apologizes for the injury in the written report. This should give Ntamack an entry level of 6 weeks but in the Press Release ‘Injured’ is unticked meaning Ntamack gets away with a 4 week entry ban. This is not counting the fact that the world knows he deliberately injured Thomas.

No. France have been abusing the system for years, recently spreading disinformation about the Ringrose ban in order to undermine confidence in the process.

Giving France even more special treatment is not the answer.

Scammed and Saved: GrayHat Hacks Turned My Crypt0 Nightmare Around

It all started with a dream and a single email. I’d been saving Bitc0in for years, hoping to buy my first home. On a rainy Tuesday, I received what looked like an urgent message from my wallet provider, asking me to verify my account details. The email was polished, the logo perfect, and the urgency felt real. Without thinking twice, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. It wasn’t until hours later, when I checked my wallet and saw a balance of zero, that the horror sank in. My 2.5 BTC, worth over $150,000, was gone. The scammer had drained it through a series of rapid transactions, scattering it across the blockchain like digital dust in the wind.

I was devastated. My dream of homeownership vanished in a click, and I felt like a fool. Days blurred into a haze of panic and regret until I stumbled upon GrayHat Hacks online. Their testimonials spoke of miracles, st0len crypt0 recovered, lives restored. Desperate, I reached ou to them. They explained that while Bitc0in’s blockchain is public, tracing st0len funds is like finding a needle in a haystack. But they had the tools: proprietary software that could analyze transaction patterns, identify wallet clusters, and potentially link the scammer’s address to an exchange where the funds might be frozen.

GrayHat Hacks dove into the blockchain, following the trail of my st0len Bitc0in as it hopped from wallet to wallet. They used advanced clustering algorithms to group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, narrowing down the scammer’s footprint. Then came the breakthrough: one of the wallets was tied to a known exchange. It was a tense few hours, but I eventually received the email I’d been praying for, my Bitc0in was recovered.

GrayHat Hacks expertise turned what felt like an impossible loss into a second chance. They even took the time to teach me how to spot phishing scams, ensuring I’d never fall victim again. If you’re reading this, heart pounding after a crypt0 nightmare, know that GrayHat Hacks is the real deal. They’re not just technicians; they’re lifesavers, blending cutting-edge blockchain analysis with a human touch. My dream of a home is back on track, and I owe it all to them.
