WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Canterbury Crusaders winger Sevu Reece, who was fined last year by a New Zealand court for assaulting his girlfriend, is a "quality young man" who the Super Rugby champions are glad to help be his "best", coach Scott Robertson has said.

The 22-year-old will make his Crusaders debut in the home match against the Waikato Chiefs on Saturday, five months after Hamilton District Court fined him NZ$750 (381 pounds) and discharged him without conviction for the assault in July.
