Ardie Savea insists an elevation to All Blacks captain is the last thing on his mind as he continues his season in Japan

New coach Scott Robertson will name a captain when he announces the squad for July's two-test series against England.

But Savea - who's been a standout so far for the Kobe Steelers - says he hasn't considered getting the role.



Savea says he's had a few conversations with with Robertson since being in Japan - and has heard encouraging reports about the new regime.
