Selesitino Ravutaumada, a winger for the Flying Fijians and Fijian Drua, is poised to make a move to French Top 14 club Racing 92 following the conclusion of the Super Rugby Pacific season.
Reports from L’Équipe reveal that Racing 92 is actively seeking to bolster its backline amid several key departures. The club is experiencing the loss of players such as Donovan Taofifenua, who is heading to Montpellier, Tristan Tedder to Perpignan, and Vinaya Habosi, who was not retained, along with Henry Arundell’s transfer to Bath. In light of these changes, Racing 92 has broadened its search for talent, looking both within Europe and globally.
Ravutaumada, 24, has been a crucial player for the Flying Fijians, accumulating 8 caps and showcasing his skills consistently for the Fijian Drua. His impressive performance in the previous season, where he scored 7 tries in 15 Super Rugby matches, highlights his potential impact in the upcoming league.
This transfer marks an exciting opportunity for Ravutaumada to further his career in a prestigious European league, and it showcases the growing interest in Pacific Island players within international rugby. Fans will be eager to see how he adapts to this new challenge and continues to develop his talent on a larger stage.
As Ravutaumada embarks on this new journey, it underscores the enriching paths available for athletes from Fiji, emphasizing hope and inspiration for young players in the region aspiring to reach similar heights in their sporting careers.
