Fiji born Sevuloni Reece has finally found a Super Rugby home, joining the reigning champions Crusaders on a replacement contract for the pre‑season.
The 21‑year‑old Waikato winger was left out of all the squads during the original Super Rugby signing day in October, after being discharged without conviction over a domestic violence incident with his partner.
It was that incident which triggered Irish Pro14 franchise Connacht to terminate Reece’s contract with the side, which he was set to join following the Mitre 10 Cup season.
His form in the Mitre 10 Cup with Waikato was irresistible, finishing with 14 tries as the competition’s leading try scorer.
Crusaders assistant coach Brad Mooar confirmed that Reece was now training with their squad and says that it is outstanding to have him in the team.
