Sevu Reece, an All Black and Crusaders record try-scorer, will join Perpignan on a three-year deal if the club avoids relegation from the Top 14, president says.
- Perpignan president Francois Riviere said on Wednesday that Sevu Reece will join next season if the club retains its Top 14 place, calling it an 'exceptional signing.'
