Crusaders prop Tamaiti Williams is congratulated by wing Sevu Reece during his debut against the Blues last month. “It’s definitely been a highlight of my life to put the jersey on. Not only for a game, but big games like that. It’s meant a lot to me and my family.” Whangārei-born Williams’ rise has been accelerated by Joe Moody’s foot injury, but he’s been touted as a point of difference player since the Crusaders named him in their squad ahead of the 2021 season.
