The Hurricanes travelled from Wellington for their clash against Rebels at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Friday.
But what should’ve been a wonderful contest, will now forever be blighted by Savea’s silly actions.
The All Blacks star was in the process of walking off after receiving a yellow card for his part in an all-in brawl, when he turned around and spoke to the Rebels’ South African-born scrumhalf Ryan Louwrens.
Louwrens was seen walking away from Savea, who follows the No 9 and then proceeds to draw a line across his neck, indicating he’ll slit his throat.
After the All Black’s disturbing gesture, Rebels and Wallabies back Reece Hodge can be heard telling the referee “He’s threatening to f*cking kill him”.

Ardie Savea has just done a very, very silly thing.
Shown a yellow card just before half time half time, as he leaves the field he chats with a Rebels player and draws a line across his throat.
Absolutely no place for that in the game. Wonderful player. But no.#REBvHUR
