# Rugby: All Blacks captain Ardie Savea will undergo surgery on his shoulder, which means he won’t likely play again before the start of the 2027 Super Rugby Pacific season. He dislocated his shoulder during the third Test of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series, which South Africa won 3-1. Savea’s backrow partner, Luke Jacobson, has already had surgery on a torn elbow tendon, while winger Caleb Clarke has a ruptured shoulder tendon. The All Blacks are preparing to face the Wallabies in the Bledisloe Cup Tests next month.
