Crusaders optimistic Sevu Reece will start in the playoffsCrusaders optimistic Sevu Reece will start in the playoffs[Photo:CalamitySkies]The Crusaders are optimistic Sevu Reece will play in the Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinal against the Reds after he trained with the team yesterday. Crusaders assistant coach Scott Hansen confirmed Reece had given few indications that he was suffering any ill-effects from his head knock but was still required to be closely monitored. If Reece is set to start, he will likely join a backline that also includes All Blacks Richie Mo'unga and Jack Goodhue. 10-times Super Rugby champions, the Crusaders, will host the Queensland Reds at Orangetheory Stadium in Christchurch at 7.05pm Friday. Finally, the last quarter-final is at GIO Stadium in Canberra, Australia, where the Brumbies play the Hurricanes at 9.45 pm Saturday.
