The 27-year-old has only appeared once for the world champions in 2017, the 15-15 third Test draw at Eden Park.
Surpassed by the likes of Rieko Ioane, Matt Duffie and Waisake Naholo in the left-wing pecking order, Savea has spent the entire second half of the season confined to the Mitre 10 Cup with the Wellington Lions.
Playing a big part in the capitals championship winning performance, Savea said the break from international rugby has rejuvenated him.
"The whole team played well," he told reporters in London.
