Brumbies sign Super Rugby winner Pete Samu from the Crusaders

Samu, currently at the Crusaders is a big ball carrier and will provide the Brumbies with great go forward ball. At 102kg and 1.85m the flanker has had great success at Super Rugby and Mitre 10 Cup level, where he plays for Tasman.

“We are delighted that Peter Samu has agreed to join the Brumbies for the 2019 Super Rugby season,” Plus500 Brumbies Head Coach Dan McKellar commented.

Born in Melbourne, Samu is eligible for Australian selection despite playing most of his club rugby in New Zealand. He originally played for Randwick in Sydney for two stints, either side of a spell with St. Ives in Cornwall, before switching to Tasman from where he was spotted by the Crusaders and earned a Super Rugby contract in 2016.
