The Crusaders may be at the top of the New Zealand conference in Super Rugby but former Ireland flyhalf and Crusaders Assistant Coach Rona O’Gara is not letting that get to them.

O’Gara says they have to get everything right today as the Chiefs cannot be underestimated with players like Sam Cane in their ranks.

O’Gara who earned 128 caps for Ireland speaks highly of Fiji born Sevuloni Reece.

He says Reece is born to play.

‘Plenty of excitement I think for someone like Sevu or Manasa when he plays we as coaches don’t know the boys are very talented I think it’s important you let them play they are born to play rugby so let them go play’.

Reece will start on the wing for the Crusaders today while Pita Gus Sowakula will start at number eight for the Chiefs.

The Crusaders will play the Chiefs at 7:35pm tonight at the ANZ Stadium.
