Ardie Savea sends Crusaders halfback flying with huge bump off

July 25, 2020

Ardie Savea left Crusaders halfback Bryn Hall on the deck, coming up with a huge bump off in the Hurricanes' 34-32 victory in Christchurch.

As the Hurricanes packed down a scrum in the opening minutes of the match at Orangetheory Stadium, Savea ran the ball from number eight, despite the Hurricanes being in their own 22.

Despite being the Crusaders' smallest man, Hall found himself with the task of stopping the rampaging Savea.

However, things wouldn't go to plan for Hall, sent flying with a massive effort from Savea.

To his credit though, Hall got to his feet straight away, playing on unaffected until being substituted in the second half.

The Hurricanes would go on to seal a dramatic victory, ending the Crusaders' run of 36 home matches without defeat, not losing in front of their own fans since 2016.
