Sevu Reece has made his mark in Super Rugby history by equaling the all-time try-scoring record during the Crusaders’ thrilling 48-33 victory over the Waratahs in Sydney. Achieving his 65th try, Reece now stands alongside former Hurricanes halfback TJ Perenara at the pinnacle of the competition’s try sheets.
Reflecting on his achievement, Reece expressed how much the moment means to him, especially after overcoming a tough season marked by injury and struggles with form. “Feels good to get that try,” he shared, adding, “It got to a point this season where I didn’t think I was going to score a try [again].”
This victory is significant not just for Reece, but also for the Crusaders, marking their first win against the Waratahs in Australia since 2021. This win keeps them locked in a tight race at the top of the Super Rugby table, currently tied with the Chiefs at 41 points as the season nears its conclusion.
Looking ahead, the Crusaders are set to face the Highlanders next weekend, where they will aim to continue their successful run. The combination of Reece’s outstanding performance and the team’s determination has fans optimistic about their prospects for the remainder of the season.
Reece’s resolve serves as an inspiration for players and fans alike, highlighting that perseverance can indeed lead to remarkable achievements. As the season progresses, the excitement builds not only for Reece but for the entire Crusaders squad, energizing their pursuit of championship glory.
