Chris Boyd: Munster coach discusses Ardie Savea's career as he prepares to play 100th test

Weekend Sport with Jason Pine

About

Among the potential bits of history to be made in tomorrow night's massive Rugby Championship match in Auckland is a milestone that's gone somewhat under the radar. 

Loose forward Ardie Savea is set to bring up his 100th test in a game at Eden Park where the All Blacks' impressive unbeaten run is set to be threatened by the Springboks. 

Ardie Savea debuted in June 2016, coming off the bench in a 39-21 win over Wales at Eden Park 

Chris Boyd gave Ardie Savea his Wellington debut in 2012 and coached him there until 2014, and then as coach of the Hurricanes between 2015 and 2018. He joined Piney to discuss Savea’s incredible career.
