Former All Black Julian Savea is learning to speak Samoan, to have a deeper connection with his heritage.
After three years in France, Saveas back playing for the Hurricanes - where his younger brother Ardie is now captain.
This weekend Super Rugby Aotearoa is honouring Māori and Pasifika cultures with a Mana Moana round. Julian says he and Ardie are learning to speak Samoan as part of that.
He told Joe Porter while his parents speak Samoan he's not fluent... yet.
