New All Black captain Ardie Savea denies he's worse off from having skipped Super Rugby to play a season in Japan. 

Savea returns to lead the national side for the upcoming Nations Championship tests after returning from Kobe in Japan. 

He told Mike Hosking that there’s a perception that Japan isn’t that great of a team, but they have world class coaches and players mixed in with local players. 

Savea says you’ve got to be playing high-quality games, and while you can define what that means, he doesn’t know – what he does know is that Japan has been great.
