Three players with Fijian links have been named in Rob Penney’s 38 member Crusaders squad for the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific 2025 season.

They are prop George Bower, wing Sevu Reece and utility back Chay Fihaki.

Key new signings include Australian James O’Connor at 10, bringing a huge wealth of experience from his nearly 20 years in the saddle.

Eyes will also no doubt be on Kyle Preston who recently helped the Wellington Lions to Bunnings Warehouse NPC glory as starting halfback.

Scott Barrett will not be captaining the side for next season with Penney to name his skipper shortly.

The Crusaders will be hoping to win more than four games next season.
