As a springbok supporter. Well deserved Ardie. You play like a true sportsman with 150% effort in every game🎉

[andremaube]

You'd have to be crazy af not to agree. Savea has been nominated several times, and he deserves this title more than ever.
He's one of the best players on the planet, one of the most consistent and one of the most important for his team.
Bravo monsieur Savea 💙

Congrats Ardie!!! Richly deserved!! He has such a huge influence in that second half … helping his team shut out the opposition from even scoring a solitary point against a team with 14 men. Massive!!

[IAMJEFFREY-cwns]

Massive Springbok fan of 19 years here and I can happily say that Ardie Savea is one of my favourite players in the world. He's an absolute beast of a loose forward. He can tackle, carry and his tenacity is 2nd to none. Congrats and well deserved👏👏👍👍

[viliamitupou]

Didn't see anyone run with more hunger than this guy in the final. Has always played like a true champion, massive respect and love to the uso. Future Sir Ardie Savea 💯 Proud to be a Kiwi, proud to be a Pacific Islander 💯

If Savea keeps playing like this he will be the greatest Number 8 of all time, humble and an inspiration.

Congrats Ardie! Love your mantra and attitude towards your team and the great game. As a Boks fan I would have loved to see one of our great players receive this award but you are right up there and I'm sure everyone agrees you've done the ABs proud 👏

[patricepeki]

Ardie congratulations, well deserved win! Your consistent is phenomenal, work rate and level of playing are just something else.
Thank you for a great season, all the best!

Well deserved Honorable Ardie Suemalo Savea. Congratulations from your Pacific Island village communities and ancestral homeland. Ardie is today's Sir Michael Jones and "Iceman", an exceptional example of a skillful loose forward and flag carrier from the islands that we all believe in to "do the damage"😀😀😀😀
