He announced a further two-year deal with the Reds in May 20th 2016 and was included in the Wallaby squad for the June Tests against England where he made his debut in the 1st game. [2][10], In July 2013, he signed an extended player squad contract with the Queensland Reds for the 2014 Super Rugby season.[2][11]. Although Kerevi is largely built he is extremely mobile and is a massive asset for the Reds at inside centre. But Josh defended his brother's decision to take up a monster deal offshore, saying it was time for the cheeky middle child to look after himself, literally. Samu Kerevi (born 27 September 1993), is a Fijian-born Australian rugby union player. I was just looking at a photo of him as a really young boy kicking the ball with Dad on the street outside our house," Josh Kerevi said.
"But on the top of that he still takes care of everyone, and when he’s with everyone he’s just Samu, not the big player we see on TV. His father, Nimilote Kerevi, is a former Fiji international soccer player. Kepu, a revered senior figure in the Wallabies and particularly among the Pacific Islander contingent, said he would miss his "Toko", which is the Tongan slang for brother or close friend. Kerevi completed the 2019 Super Rugby season with 72 Super Rugby caps and 26 tries before confirming that he will be joining Top League side Suntory Sungoliath. The Kerevi family moved to Australia and a young Samu played his early rugby with Sunnybank. After making his debut against England in the 2016 June series, Kerevi made an impact with Australia scoring 3 tries in his first 8 Test matches and was included in Nick Stiles 2017 Super Rugby Reds Super Rugby squad. [3], Kerevi attended Brisbane State High School, and represented Queensland at the Australian Schools Rugby Championships in 2011. The Reds centre started all three of the Wallabies' test against Ireland. "I have been asked that the whole week.". By the end of the 2018, he had scored 5 tries in 25 test matches since debuting against England in 2016. "He's always been a footy head. in a deal that has attracted plenty of controversy and culminated in the Queensland Rugby Union attempting to freeze out Kerevi's agent Anthony Picone. The Kerevi family moved to Australia when Samu was young and he played his early rugby with Sunnybank. [8][9] He was selected for Australia Under-20 to play in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France, but was unable to take part due to a shoulder injury. But all the boys love mucking around and it's been great fun.". He started just as Akita bid to host a team in the lead up to the Rugby World Cup and when they locked in Fiji, the eldest of the three Kerevi boys was excited but also a little nervous about telling his brother. In September Kerevi re-signed with the Reds and Wallabies until the end of 2019. "They said 'you're the enemy, you're going to be showing the Wallabies all our calls'. Samu will leave Australia at the relatively young age of 25 to play with Top League team Suntory Sungoliath. I think we’re not surprised of how much he’s achieved because of the work he’s put in and how he’s really focused on his rugby," Josh Kerevi said. They've come a long way: Josh and Samu Kerevi at ages four and five. And the chance to spend time with younger brother Jone, who is based in Japan, meant that a change of heart was never likely. Samu Kerevi moved to Brisbane to live with their grandfather Peceli at a young age but the boys - and the entire family - are still close. Josh Kerevi, 27, the elder brother of Australia's barnstorming vice captain Samu Kerevi, has been quietly helping the Flying Fijians in their World Cup preparations, the Herald can reveal. He attended Brisbane State High School and in 2012 played in the Queensland Schools side but a year later he joined his brother Josua in Fiji’s U20s squad.
