Mark Telea surprised the All Blacks captain, Ardie Savea, during his vacation in Japan. Ardie had to stay for a few extra days to get some rest after a long and heavily congested season as the All Blacks head for the South Africa tour.
As he enjoyed his special days off, his fellow All Black Mark Telea surprised him, and the two had a wonderful time. Sharing the video on Instagram, the All Blacks captain expressed how much he loved Telea’s gesture. He did not expect to see him, and when they were together, their bromance was on another level.
“Thanks for coming to see me off, uso”, Ardie said, tagging his friend and teammate Telea.
HOW IT ALL HAPPENED
The 32-year-old All Blacks number 8 was having his meal, sitting at a table outside a restaurant. His food looked like it was getting the much-needed rest coach Rennie wanted him to have. While Telea was enjoying the meal, Telea arrived, and the two greeted each other.
Their greeting style impressed some of their fans, as it was filled with brotherly love and friendship. The two stars showed how close they are off the pitch. A relationship that most of their fans did not know existed, the human side of the athletes.
