Selesitino Ravutaumada, the talented winger from the Flying Fijians and Fijian Drua, is poised to make a significant move to French Top 14 club Racing 92 once the Super Rugby Pacific season concludes. Reports from L’Équipe reveal that Racing 92 is actively seeking to bolster its backline following several key departures from the team.
With notable players like Donovan Taofifenua transferring to Montpellier, Tristan Tedder heading to Perpignan, and Vinaya Habosi not being retained, Racing 92 has recognized the need for reinforcements. The club has extended its search for new talent both across Europe and internationally, leading them to consider Ravutaumada as a vital addition to their roster.
At just 24 years old, Ravutaumada has already made a mark in rugby, earning 8 caps with the Flying Fijians and routinely showcasing his skills with the Fijian Drua. His impressive performance last season, where he scored 7 tries in 15 Super Rugby matches, highlights his potential as a key player for Racing 92.
This move represents a promising opportunity not just for Ravutaumada to further develop his career at a high level in Europe but also showcases the growing recognition of Fijian talent on the international rugby stage. It underscores the increasing trend of elite clubs looking beyond traditional markets to secure exceptional players from the Pacific islands.
