All Black Ardie Savea won three awards at the 2025 New Zealand Rugby Awards on Thursday night.
Savea’s dominant performances across the rugby season have been reflected in awards, with the 32-year-old acknowledged as the best player in the country in 2025.
In the season where he brought up his 100th Test, Savea has been named as the Kelvin R Tremain Memorial Player of the Year and All Blacks Player of the Year.
His commanding performances and inspiring leadership for his new team Moana Pasifika saw him crowned Super Rugby Pacific Player of the Year as well.
“Congratulations to the winners and all finalists this year, being nominated in these awards is a big honour,” said NZR CEO Mark Robinson.
“Ardie has a level of consistency that is unmatched, and his three awards tonight demonstrate that. He keeps raising the bar for what’s possible on an individual level, and brings his inspirational leadership to every environment. He is massively respected domestically and internationally.”
