Rob Nicol: Rugby Players' Association CEO on the discharge without conviction of Sevu Reece
There’s confidence All Black Sevu Reece was not given special treatment after charges against him ended in a discharge without conviction. The 27-year-old Crusader crashed a car into a garage door after being asked to leave the post-Christchurch Cup Day party last year. Reece initially pleaded not guilty before admitting a reduced charge of wilful damage yesterday. Rugby Players' Association chief executive Rob Nicol told Mike Hosking we have to trust the judicial system. He says anyone with a high profile is held to account when police are involved, as there's pressure on officers to get it right. Reece was granted a discharge without conviction in 2018 after he admitted a single charge of common assault following an incident involving his then-partner.
