Raiders speedster Xavier Savage has spilled the beans ahead of this weekend's showdown against the Warriors at Allegiant Stadium on how an NFL career was his backup plan if he didn't crack it in the NRL.
Savage, who popped the question to partner Taliah Simbolon in front of the breathtaking Bellagio Hotel and Casino fountains, never imagined he would venture to Las Vegas to play footy.
However, he did toy with the idea of heading to the United States to chase his sporting dreams.
