    That would be a massive signing, he's literally been the Saders best this year.

    There is a rumour that he is going to sign with Southland. I reckon it is more about Ta$man seeing little value in keeping an All Black who barely plays on their books. Even if there is a NZRU rebate for ABs. Would be awesome if we could land him. Seems it would be an interesting signing though. Our back three when they have been on the field have been great. May be Reece wants to play centre haha

    That is a huge rumour to start throwing around. Where did you hear that?

    In a publication called the Southland Tribune (behind a paywall), there is an article about Reece potentially joining Southland. Some people put 2 + 2 together and got 5. Reece linked with Southland. He will end up with Highlanders. Throwing in the mix Tavatavanawai is also linked with Southland too.Article https://southlandtribune.substack.com/p/savs-sidelines-all-black-wing-to

    • All Blacks wing in maroon?… A couple of weeks ago the Sav’s Sidelines column suggested Highlanders lock Mitch Dunshea will be a high chance of linking with the Southland Stags for the 2024 NPC season.

    We think we might be able to trump that this week when it comes to our signing speculation.
    It’s understood the Stags are in line for one of most high-profile signings of all-time.

    It appears All Black wing Sevu Reece has shown some interest in joining the Stags this season.

    The 27-year-old has been a regular in the All Blacks setup since 2019. Although he suffered an ACL knee injury during last year’s Super Rugby season and missed the All Blacks World Cup campaign.

    Watch this space Stags fans.

    Of course, there is a slight sticking point to the prospect of Southland landing Reece’s signature.

    He has to be in All Blacks contention again in 2024, and if so, how often would we see him in a Stags jersey?

    At the very least a high-profile player is interested in making Southland his provincial rugby home and that shouldn’t be scoffed at.

    Reece has previously played for Waikato and Ta$man at NPC level

    Reece was a midfielder in his 1st XV and early club rugby days.

    Southland have one of the lowest salary totals so would need to break the bank for Reece.

    They are the PU that is on record as saying they won't pay silly money to try to win the NPC.

    Reece has always said he wants to play in the midfield.

    But it is all moot because he's not going to be playing much/any NPC.

    Interesting way for the Highlanders to try and fix their midfield issue, if they are going after him. No midfield options out there. So, talk an All Black winger into getting his dream midfield opportunity.

    Yeah not sure this is happening
    Colin Mansbridge was asked about Reece coming back to the Crusaders next season in a Radio interview a couple of days ago and He said Reece was back at the Crusaders next season.

    That's good. Now here's hoping Southland doesn't waste money on him.

    @Chris Well that should put it to bed then.

    The man has been linked to all corners of the Globe since the beginning of the year.

    Sometimes they talk themselves into it. Hi, Rieko...

    He has and I read he was a centre but for some reason I thought early on he played 12, and given his love of turnovers and work ethic, he could be useful at 12..
