Fijian rugby star Sireli Maqala continues to make waves in the French Top 14 league, showcasing his talent with a remarkable performance for Bayonne. In their recent matchup against Castres, Maqala scored his 10th try of the season, contributing to a decisive 33-12 victory for his team.
The 2021 Olympic gold medalist is not just participating; he is leading the league in tries scored after 13 matches, further solidifying his reputation as a key player. During the game, he showcased his agility by catching a deflected pass and sprinting an impressive 60 meters to the try line without being challenged.
Maqala was joined on the field by fellow Flying Fijians player Luke Tagi, who played in the second half for Bayonne. On the opposing side, Castres featured Vilimoni Botitu at center, while veteran Leone Nakarawa was also included in the squad.
In other matches that day, Pau triumphed over RC Vannes with a score of 48-24, and Montpellier narrowly defeated Clermont 22-18.
This ongoing success of Fijian players in international leagues not only highlights their exceptional talent but also serves as an inspiration for upcoming athletes from the Pacific island nation. The continued presence of prominent Fijian players in top competitions globally is a testament to the strength and depth of rugby in Fiji.
