Photo/PhotosportSprint sensation Eddie Osei-Nketia is in talks with the Crusaders about a rugby career. Osei-Nketia, whose dad Gus Nketia is the New Zealand 100m record holder, said the New Zealand Olympic Committee "don't care what's best for me". "I need to get there first I need to work hard grind hard, I just need to be on top. Osei-Nketia has already been a sideline guest at the New Zealand Rugby sevens camp two years ago, which will have boosted his confidence about becoming an All Black. "However, these conversations have not extended to the possibility of bringing Eddie to the Crusaders, so it wouldn't be appropriate for us to comment further."
