All Blacks captain Ardie Savea went viral for a prank that scared fans in a mall while he was shopping in South Africa. Before their third game against the Springboks, Savea’s children asked him for a toy-shopping outing.
However, it seemed Ardie himself was the ultimate winner when he found a spider toy. He used the black spider toy to prank fans who wanted to have pictures with him.
ARDIE SAVEA PRANKS FANS IN A MALL IN SOUTH AFRICA
Indeed, Ardie Savea is quite different to many professional rugby players out there. His natural connection with fans makes him one of the most loved among professional players. He loves to joke with fans, including rival fans, sometimes dancing and singing with them.
However, he took a different approach when meeting fans while shopping. Fans would come up to him for a picture, and then he would drop his black spider toy, scaring the fans.
After realising the prank, Ardie and the fans would laugh together, sharing a wonderful moment that has fans in awe.
