Sireli Maqala, the versatile back for the Flying Fijians, continues to impress in the French Top 14 league with Bayonne, where he recently scored his 10th try of the season in a commanding 33-12 victory over Castres. This remarkable achievement keeps him at the forefront of the try-scoring leaders after 13 matches this season.

Maqala showcased his exceptional speed and skill by intercepting a deflected pass and sprinting 60 meters to score an untouched try. His performance has been a significant highlight for Bayonne this season. Additionally, fellow Flying Fijians player Luke Tagi contributed to the team’s success by coming off the bench in the second half of the match.

On the opposing side, Castres featured Vilimoni Botitu playing at center, while the seasoned Leone Nakarawa also made the match-day squad.

In other fixtures from that day, Pau triumphed over RC Vannes with a score of 48-24, and Montpellier narrowly defeated Clermont, edging the game 22-18.

This continued success for Fiji’s rugby players in the international arena is a testament to their growing influence and talent in global rugby competitions. Fans can take heart in the stellar performances of these athletes, who inspire not only their teammates but also young players back home dreaming of similar feats on the world stage.
