    Sevu Reece's All Blacks career looks over, after signing with French club Perpignan on a three-year deal

    Sevu Reece's All Blacks career looks over, after signing with French club Perpignan on a three-year deal


    The veteran wing fell out of the All Blacks' first choice 23 this year, before returning for the final test against Wales in Cardiff where he bagged a brace.

    It now appears that was his swansong with Perpignan confirming his signing on a three-year deal in a bizarre video - from a first-person perspective of Reece but not narrated by him.



    Local media report the deal hinges on the club avoiding relegation out of the Top 14 - something that is far from certain given they are currently last on the ladder.

    Reece will play out one last season with the Crusaders, where he'll look to build on his tally as Super Rugby's all-time leading try-scorer.
