All Blacks coach Steve Hansen's encouraging the public to view Sevu Reece's international selection from a different perspective

The winger was discharged without conviction on one count of male assaults female late last year, before the Crusaders threw him a Super Rugby lifeline, which has contributed to his elevation to the All Blacks Rugby Championship squad.
Hansen feels it isn't fair that people are saying Reece shouldn't be picked as he's not a role model.
Instead, he's challenging others to see that Reece can be one, if he's given the right support and education and continues to buy into it.
He says Reece can be a role model for change and give people who have had a similar experience hope that they can do things a different way and break the cycle of domestic violence.
