About
Sevu Reece was a rugby and track and field schoolboy star in his Fiji homeland, and moved to New Zealand in 2014 to finish his schooling at Hamilton Boys’ High School, debuting for Waikato provincial side just two years later.
He took the Super Rugby competition by storm in 2019, after getting an opportunity with the Crusaders as a replacement player and then joining the squad full time.
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 chart with 15 tries, and was named the Crusaders' Rookie of the Year.
He made the All Blacks for the first time in 2019, when 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 later that year, at just 22 years of age. He now has 32 caps and 90 points (18 tries) to his name.
Sevu has over 60 tries for the Crusaders, making him the clubs top try scorer and sixth highest point scorer to date and played his 75th game for the club in 2025.
