Fiji born Sevu Reece set up two tries as the Crusaders beat the Chiefs 18-13 in round 3 of the Super Rugby Aotearoa in Christchurch.
Reece set up Will Jordan for both Crusaders tries with Richie Mo’unga managing to convert one.
Crusaders led 10-3 at the breather.
The take, the offload from Sevu Reece & the gas from Will Jordan. Just wow.
