Tamanivalu to join Crusaders in 2017

The Crusaders have announced the signing of sensational back Seta Tamanivalu for next season.

The Fiji born Tamanivalu, currently in Argentina with the All Blacks squad, said the offer to play for the Crusaders next year was an opportunity he did not want to miss.

“I am grateful for my time at the Chiefs and everything I have learned there, but this is a fantastic opportunity for me to develop in a different environment. I have long respected the Crusaders as a highly driven and successful team, so I am excited to be a part of that next year.”

Tamanivalu launched his Super Rugby career with the Chiefs in 2015 but will move south to play his third Super Rugby season with the Christchurch-based side.
