    Ardie Savea insists an elevation to All Blacks captain is the last thing on his mind as he continues his season in Japan

    Ardie Savea insists an elevation to All Blacks captain is the last thing on his mind as he continues his season in Japan


    New coach Scott Robertson will name a captain when he announces the squad for July's two-test series against England.

    But Savea - who's been a standout so far for the Kobe Steelers - says he hasn't considered getting the role.



    Savea says he's had a few conversations with with Robertson since being in Japan - and has heard encouraging reports about the new regime.
