Peniasi Dakuwaqa, the Fijian winger playing for Stade Français, has officially extended his contract with the Paris-based rugby club for an additional two years. Dakuwaqa, renowned for his incredible speed that has earned him the nickname “The Flash” in the Top 14 competition, joined Stade Français in 2022 as a medical joker and has since captivated fans with his electrifying playing style.
The 29-year-old showcased his commitment to the team through a heartfelt announcement made via a video on Stade Français’ Facebook page. “Hi, it’s Peni. I’ve got news for you guys, I’m signing on for another two years. I love Paris and I love the supporters, thank you guys for supporting the team. Allez Paris,” he expressed, resonating with fans who appreciate his contributions on and off the pitch.
Dakuwaqa’s impressive performances as the starting right winger have not gone unnoticed. His standout moment came in 2024 when he scored a remarkable length-of-the-field try against Racing 92, which was celebrated as the try of the season. This highlighted not only his offensive skills but also his ability to change the dynamics of a game.
Moreover, Dakuwaqa recently made his debut with the Flying Fijians against Georgia, where he made an immediate impact by scoring two tries in a 21-12 victory. His talent and contributions promise to enhance Stade Français’ competitive edge in the upcoming seasons, bringing hope and excitement to both the club and its supporters.
