In a recent clash in the French Top 14, veteran Fijian forward Levani Botia contributed to La Rochelle’s efforts by scoring their only try in a tough 21-13 defeat against Perpignan. Botia showcased his skills by crossing the try line in the 51st minute and demonstrated his defensive prowess by securing three turnovers throughout the match.
This loss halted La Rochelle’s momentum, ending a commendable three-game winning streak. Alongside Botia, teammates Simeli Daunivucu and Suliasi Vunivalu also made notable contributions during the match.
On the other hand, Perpignan celebrated their victory as former France 7s star Tavite Veredamu added his name to the score sheet with his third try of the season, with Alivereti Duguivalu and Apisai Naqalevu also participating in the game.
This match serves as a reminder of the competitive nature of rugby and how each fixture can change the dynamics of the season. Despite the defeat, La Rochelle has the opportunity to regroup and strengthen their efforts in upcoming matches, and with talented players like Botia on their side, fans can remain optimistic about their potential for future successes.
