Ardie Savea is one of the best players on one of the best rugby teams in the world. The 26-year-old New Zealand All Blacks flanker was a nominee for World Rugby’s Player of the Year award, thanks to his stellar play with the national team. But Savea is currently recovering from knee surgery and his doctor is concerned is social media habits may be impeding his recovery.
Savea had surgery in early December to repair a knee injury suffered in the Rugby World Cup semifinal against England in late October. He said at the time that the recovery would take five to six months, potentially causing him to miss the entire season with his club team in Super Rugby, the Hurricanes.
