Moana Pasifika are downplaying their dependence on outgoing skipper Ardie Savea. He will miss Super Rugby next year to take up a sabbatical in Japan, before making a 2027 return. Savea is signed with NZR through to the end of the 2027 World Cup in Australia and will end up spending half of that cycle playing in Japan. Franchise boss Debbie Sorensen told Mike Hosking that Savea's contribution might look inordinate, but there's a lot of things that go together to make the team work really well. She says that he's worked quite hard to ensure he's not the single outlier, working hard to bring the squad together and mentor other players.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast. Are teams being punished twice for the same crime? That's what we are looking into this week, after Moana Pasifika conceded a penalty try and a yellow card for the same offence. However they did manage to win, and is that the end of the Blues season, or do they still have a chance to make the top 6? One team that seems to be taking their chances, is the Hurricanes, who scored a last minute winner to almost secure their spot in the knock out rounds. There are just two rounds left before we enter the final stage of the comp and there are some massive games ahead, so who will be celebrating a massive win and who'll be crying over a defeat?
