OPINION: Ardie Savea’s face was a bloody mess after the All Blacks’ impressive win against the Wallabies in Perth on Sunday. Paul Kane/Getty Images Ardie Savea is interviewed after the All Blacks’ victory against the Wallabies in Perth on Sunday. Savea lay prone on the ground and would be replaced for the rest of the game three minutes later. It would be a surprise to see either Savea or Taylor play against Argentina on Sunday. The debate about the Barrett red card will roll on but it may only be serving to distract from the larger player welfare issue raised in Perth.
