About
Sevu Reece was born and raised in Fiji, until he moved to New Zealand in 2014 to finish his schooling at Hamilton Boys’ High School. He quickly impressed Waikato selectors and made his debut for the provincial side just two years later.
He took the Super Rugby competition by storm in 2019, after getting an opportunity with the Crusaders initially as a replacement player, then he joined the squad on a full contract.
Sevu made an immediate impact in his debut game against the Chiefs, scoring an intercept try in a Man of the Match performance. He finished his debut season at the top of the try-scoring table with 15 tries, and was named the Crusaders Rookie of the Year.
He made the All Blacks that same year and was named in the squad for the Investec Rugby Championship - making his debut against Argentina in Buenos Aires and going on to feature in the All Blacks Rugby World Cup campaign at just 22 years of age. He now has 32 caps and 90 points to his name.
Sevu has over 60 tries for the Crusaders, making him the club’s top try scorer and sixth highest point scorer to date.
