Hurricanes loose forward praises Savea's versatility playing on the wing

Hurricanes loose forward Gareth Evans says he is content on sticking to what he knows, after his teammate and fellow loose forward Ardie Savea was forced to play on the wing against the Blues last week.

Savea moved from openside flanker to the left wing in the 69th minute, in the Hurricanes' 29‑24 win over the Blues in Wellington.

Evans says Savea could probably play anywhere on the team.

Looking at the play-offs, the Crusaders will take on the Highlanders at 7.35pm Friday at Rugby League Park in Christchurch, the Jaguares will meet the Chiefs in Argentina at 10.05am Saturday, the Hurricanes will meet the Bulls at Wellington Regional Stadium at 7.35pm Saturday while the Brumbies take on the Sharks in the last quarterfinal at 10.05pm Saturday in Canberra.
