Sireli Maqala, the Bayonne centre and member of the Flying Fijians rugby team, is currently at the forefront of the French Top 14 scoring leaderboard with an impressive nine tries in just twelve matches. This achievement highlights his exceptional skill and performance on the field, particularly notable since he is the only Fijian in the top 10 scoring list.
Maqala, a gold medalist from the 2021 Olympic Games in 7s rugby, has outperformed Lyon’s scrum-half Baptiste Couilloud, who stands with eight tries this season. His contributions have been pivotal for Bayonne, which is currently holding a strong position in the league, sitting fourth with 34 points.
In the competitive landscape of French rugby, Bordeaux leads the Top 14 with 41 points, closely followed by Toulouse, also at 41 but with a lower points difference. Toulon occupies the third spot with 37 points.
This season showcases not only Maqala’s prowess but also the growing international representation in rugby, enriching the sport’s diversity and competitiveness. Fans can look forward to his continued contributions as Bayonne aims for a strong finish in the league.
It’s encouraging to see Maqala’s success in French rugby, and it emphasizes the promising talent emerging from Fiji, which continues to shine on the international stage.
