New Zealand forward Ardie Savea said the opportunity to earn a significant payday was the main reason behind his decision to join Japan's Kobelco Kobe Steelers after the Rugby World Cup later this year.
Savea, who has played 70 times for the All Blacks, will lead the Wellington Hurricanes into the upcoming Super Rugby season and will make the move to Japan once the Rugby World Cup has been completed in France in October.
"Plain and simple - to set up my family. The money's good, I'm not going to lie," Savea said of his reason for the switch. "It's an opportunity to set up my family and also to try something new. It's a bit of a challenge and hopefully it puts me on my toes. "Not that I'm not on my toes here, but there's just something about going into a new environment and feeling young and being a rookie again.
