Levani Botia, the experienced Fijian forward, was the sole scorer for La Rochelle in their recent match against Perpignan, which ended in a 21-13 defeat in the French Top 14. Botia made his mark in the 51st minute, demonstrating his skills by winning three turnovers throughout the game. This loss halted La Rochelle’s impressive three-game winning streak, a disappointing outcome for the team as they faced off against Perpignan, who currently sit in 12th place in the league.
In addition to Botia, teammates Simeli Daunivucu and Suliasi Vunivalu also took part in the match for La Rochelle. On the opposing side, former France 7s player Tavite Veredamu celebrated his third try of the season during the encounter, contributing to Perpignan’s success. Alivereti Duguivalu and Apisai Naqalevu were also part of Perpignan’s lineup.
Despite the setback for La Rochelle, the match showcased the talent and potential within both teams, offering a promising outlook for future games. With strong performances from players like Botia and Veredamu, the league remains competitive, and teams will have the opportunity to bounce back in the coming weeks.
