All Blacks loose forward Ardie Savea

Savea to find out fate for throat slit gesture, Hurricanes prop cops ban

A SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee on Monday night deemed that Savea should front the judiciary.

Savea is alleged to have contravened Law 9.27: A player must not do anything that is against the spirit of good sportsmanship.

RNZ reports Savea had earlier apologised for the gesture aimed at a Rebels player and had hoped it wouldn't result in judicial action.
