SYDNEY (Reuters) - Ruben Love, a Super Rugby standout and All Blacks debutant last season, plays his first game of the year for the Wellington Hurricanes on Saturday, looking to make an unanswerable case for more test rugby in 2025.
The fullback's return from ankle reconstruction surgery to face Moana Pasifika in Auckland comes ahead of schedule and the 23-year-old is nothing if not ambitious for what he can achieve this year.
