Fijian utility back Kalaveti Ravouvou showcased an impressive performance for the Bristol Bears during their 54-24 victory over Leicester in the Premiership this past weekend, scoring two crucial tries.
Ravouvou, a former star for the Fijian Drua, earned the Man of the Match title following a standout display where he covered an impressive 217 meters, made 18 attempts at carrying the ball, and successfully evaded 10 defenders.
The match saw a thrilling start, with Tigers winger Ollie Hassell-Collins and Bristol hooker Gabriel Oghre each scoring two tries in the opening 20 minutes. Ravouvou also made his mark by crossing the try line for the Bears. Further contributions came from fellow Fijian Viliame Mata, Rich Lane, and Gabriel Ibitoye, helping the team establish a commanding 40-12 lead by halftime against Michael Cheika’s formidable Tigers.
This performance highlights the growing influence and talent of players from Fiji in international rugby, promising an exciting future for the sport. Ravouvou’s exceptional skills, along with the collective effort from his teammates, not only secured a significant win but also showcased the Bears’ strength in the Premiership.
