Out of curiosity how come Sevu Reece tries have dried up?
Based on early season form it looked likely he would take the SR try record soon but since that Force match he's not scored again.
He was very industrious to start the season coming off his wing (I think one of his tries v Force was picking the ball off the base of a ruck in middle of park)..... Has Penny changed the way he is being utilized?
The tracks aren’t as dry, not as much space for wingers and I feel the Crusaders aren’t as good as Read thinks they are. They got the Canes twice when they had a weakened squad, same with the Blues and the Force and Reds also sent weaker teams over. Reece scored plenty of tries earlier in the season when he had worse players defending him.
TX, makes sense. 👍

@nonpartizan Might be just run of play, I think.
He still seems pretty involved, and the Crusaders have won half a dozen of their games comfortably in recent times. I haven't seen anything much that is stopping Sevu.
But, maybe over-eagerness is inhibiting him? If you take a pass one-step early then you end up with an assist rather than a score.
I certainly haven't noticed him bombing any tries.

Oli Mathis is playing club rugby in Christchurch tomorrow. Wonder if this points towards where his future in the 15 man game lies

All they wanted was to see him play with those Waikato legends Anton Leinert Brown and Damian McKenzie. Would be a shame if he gets lost to the Crusaders. The Chiefs would never do it the other way.

I know.... It was a play on two of their biggest current players being from Christchurch. Even though McKenzie is REALLY from Gore, so is a poach from a poach.

You can't include the guy you sent away because you favoured another player you poached.
