Sireli Maqala, the utility back for the Flying Fijians, continues to impress in the French Top 14 league, scoring his 10th try of the season in a commanding 33-12 victory for Bayonne against Castres. With this achievement, Maqala remains the top scorer after 13 matches, solidifying his reputation as a key player in the league.
In a standout moment during the match, he intercepted a deflected pass and sprinted 60 meters without any opposition to secure his try. His teammate, Luke Tagi, also contributed to Bayonne’s success, coming off the bench in the second half. Castres featured Fijian players Vilimoni Botitu at center and veteran Leone Nakarawa, who was included in the match day squad.
In other Top 14 action, Pau triumphed over RC Vannes with a score of 48-24, while Montpellier edged out Clermont 22-18.
Maqala’s continued success not only highlights his talent but also represents a bright future for Fijian rugby on the international stage. As more players gain recognition in prestigious leagues like the Top 14, the sport’s visibility and potential for growth within Fiji and beyond are increasingly promising.
