    Oli Mathis is willing to play the long game as he begins his life at the Crusaders

    Oli Mathis is willing to play the long game as he begins his life at the Crusaders


    As reported on Newstalk ZB last month, the 20-year-old hybrid player has signed with the Super Rugby champions.

    The Waikato product will be on a wider training group deal in 2026 - before being elevated to the full squad for 2027 and 2028.

    Mathis is happy to bide his time - given he can't play for the Crusaders next year unless there's an injury to a fully contracted player.
