Chiefs v Crusaders

@Stargazer I'll try and find the article but I remember reading that the Chiefs specifically blacklisted Reece after the incident.

Was there more than one incident from the coward?

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Maybe after Connacht ripped up his contract? Even if that's the case, that doesn't contradict them saying they weren't interested earlier in the year.

As a result, the police prosecutor said Reece had already been blacklisted by the Chiefs rugby side

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah So they blacklisted him after he had already signed with Connacht, or after Connacht ripped up the contract. As I said in my previous post, that still doesn't exclude that they said Reece was surplus to requirements before he signed with Connacht.

Can't be bothered either way. It's history. All that matters is that he doesn't do it again.

@Stargazer It's all good mate you were wrong, @Yeetyaah was right. We're all wrong from time to time.

[Stargazer]

@African-Monkey Actually, I wasn't wrong at all. For the third time, the Chiefs may have told Reece he was surplus to requirements before he signed with Connacht and blacklisted him after the assault (after Connacht ripped up his contract, or not). One doesn't contradict the other.

Super Rugby Aotearoa: Chiefs snub still rankles Crusaders flyer Sevu Reece | Newshub

The Fijian winger has turned Crusaders Super Rugby success into an All Blacks jersey.

Article on what was reported on before.

There was another factor too. For some bizarre reason the Chiefs signed Ataata Moeakiola so there wasn't a place for Reece in the squad.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae True I do remember Coops signing that useless twat.

[Cantab79]

Oh well, whatever the reason I would like to thank Colin Cooper for overlooking Reece. The Chiefs' loss has certainly been our gain.

What position is 20 usually?

Reuben O’Neill

such a nothing name for a NZ rugby player

[Yeetyaah]

@Hooroo loose forward. 8 I think. Plays for Waikato.

[Bovidae]

Parker is a very promising player and would have been at short odds to be the NZ U20 no.8 this year. He's a big unit for a loosie too.

Welcome back Shaun.

A player to compare him to in style please? That way we can have super high expectations.....
