KEREVI GETS THE NOD OVER RODDA TO CAPTAIN REDS IN 2019

Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi will captain the Queensland Reds in the upcoming Super Rugby season, after being given the nod over Evans Head’s Izack Rodda.

Rodda was considered a chance to captain the Brisbane-based side, following several impressive performances last year, including in the green and gold.

Now into his third season with the Reds – the 22 year old signed a contract extension last year, which will see him remain in Queensland till the end of 20-20.

Meanwhile, Wallabies veteran Adam Ashley-Cooper has signed a one-year deal with the Waratahs.

The 34-year-old is hoping a return to Super Rugby will lead to selection for Australia’s World Cup campaign later this year.

Ashley-Cooper will add to his 61 caps for the Waratahs.
