Edit	Name: Julian Savea Indigenous Name: Sio Julian Savea Position: Wing Nationality: New Zealand Height: 192 cm (6' 4") Weight: 103 kg (227lbs) Date of Birth: 08 Jul 1990 Place of Birth: Wellington, New Zealand Schooling: Rongotai College Main Team(s): Hurricanes, All Blacks
General Info Edit Midway through the 2013 Super Rugby season and Julian Savea is fast establishing himself as the potent force that he was predicted to be.  It's been known for a while that he's a lethal runner, and this aspect of his game only seems to be getting more brutal.  This year he's also put other skills on display, including a high work rate, powerful defense, great under the high ball and an overall maturity that is delivering trusted consistency. In 2012 Savea was picked for the All Blacks and during his debut game against the Irish in June he didn't disappoint as he put a hattrick on the board.  He's been a regular in the run-on side ever since. His talent first came to public note during the 2010 IRB Junior World Champs, where he scored 8 tries and ended up being named 2010 IRB Junior Player of the Year.  Since this time he's established himself in Provincial rugby with the Wellington Lions and in Super Rugby with the Hurricanes where he's now into his third season.  During 2009 he also had a brief stint playing for the NZ 7's team. In 2013 his younger brother Ardie has joined him in the Hurricanes, and it seems likely we'll be hearing 'Savea' a lot more in years to come.
