Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi holds no grudges with the national body after confirming a three-year deal with Suntory in Japan’s Top League from next season.
The Queensland Reds captain will play his final game for the Super Rugby franchise in Canberra on Saturday and, under current rules, will be ineligible for Wallabies selection beyond this year’s World Cup.
Kerevi tossed and turned on the decision but said his brilliant form this year – and any late push from Rugby Australia to conjure a deal – wasn’t enough to make him go back on his word.
