Rivez Reihana

A utility back prized for his adaptability, Rivez Reihana has carved out a role covering fly-half, fullback and the midfield for the Crusaders. Born on 25 May 2000, the New Zealander combines sharp tactical kicking with the playmaking vision to influence a game from multiple positions. He featured as reliable backline cover during the Crusaders' 2022 Super Rugby Pacific campaign, offering composure off the bench and slotting into whichever role the team required. Reihana's game is built on accurate distribution, a calm temperament under pressure and dependable defence, qualities that make him a valuable option in a competitive Crusaders backline. As he continues to develop, his versatility remains his greatest asset, allowing coaches to deploy him across the back line without compromising structure or continuity.
