2 players linked to Fiji expected to shine for Reds

Two players with links to Fiji are expected to shine for the Queensland Reds in the 2014 Super Rugby season.

Reds coach Richard Graham has been impressed by the new players he has brought in for next season especially Kris Kuridrani and Samu Kerevi.

Graham said while a number of players have left the Reds, Kuridrani and Kerevi have filled that void really well.

Kris Kuridrani is the younger brother of Flying Fijians and Crusaders bound center Nemani Nadolo while Kerevi was born in Viseisei, Vuda and he played with his brother Josua Kerevi for the Fiji Under 20 in last year's Junior World Championship in South Africa where he scored three tries.

Kerevi signed for the Reds in July.

The Reds will start their super rugby season with two warm up matches before facing the Brumbies on the 22nd of February.

Meanwhile, the Cheetahs will face the Lions while Sharks meet the Bulls on Sunday February 15 which kicks off the 2014 season.
