Look no further than Crusaders wing Sevu Reece if you want to throw the name of a possible All Blacks player out there.
The Fijian‑born wing scored two sublime tries in the Crusaders' 36‑10 win against the Lions in Christchurch last night, boosting his tally to six in just four starts.

A convincing win for the hosts, their eight victory this season. Are the Crusaders on track for another Super Rugby title?

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson gave the impression Reece would be hard to ignore if he keeps up his white‑hot form.
In his second try, Reece crashed through three tacklers, including sending Lions backrower Kwagga Smith flying backwards through the air.
Meanwhile, Tevita Li scored two tries as he capitalised on the dominance of a Highlanders' pack led by a rampaging Jackson Hemopo to help the visitors to a commanding 52‑0 Super Rugby victory over the Sunwolves in Tokyo last night.

The Highlanders, who are now third in the New Zealand conference behind the Crusaders and Hurricanes, scored five tries in the first half from Tom Franklin, Tyrel Lomax, Li, Josh Ioane and Liam Coltman to give them a massive 33‑0 lead at the break.
Li grabbed his second try about 10 minutes into the second half before Rob Thompson and Sio Tomkinson also crossed, while the home side were unlucky to have a Semisi Masirewa try ruled out for a forward pass.
