Three Fijians in Japan XV forward pack

Japan XV have named their lineup to take on the Maori All-Blacks this Saturday. The lineup includes 3 Fijians in Dynaboars Lock Epeneri Uluiviti alongside Waisake Raratubua of the Steelers in his first representative match and at Flanker breakout player Vueti Tupou from the Blue Revs. It is also his first rep jersey at senior level.

It is just reward particularly for Raratubua and Tupou who both were exceptional this season. Both players only in their 2nd seasons have gone from strength to strength.

They both played 19 matches this season and coincidentally both scored 8 tries as well.

Bayonne lock in Maqala long term

Bayonne and Flying Fijians centre Sireli Maqala have agreed to a massive five-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2030.

Rather than settling for a typical two- or three-year deal, the Blue and Whites made a strong statement about their belief in the Ra native's value to the team.

Now 25 and coming off his fourth season with the club, Maqala delivered his best campaign yet. With Bayonne emerging as a genuine finals contender, the club is clearly locking in key pieces for a bright future.

Talebula signs with St Claude

Metuisela Talebula has just signed with FC St Claude (also San Claudien) for the 2025/2026 season. St Claude won the Federal 3 competition, beating Limoux in the final 21-20, earning promotion into Federal 2.

The acquisition of the former Bordeaux and Flying Fijians strike man will help them stay competitive in the higher tier.

"We were looking for a rather penetrating center. I saw that his contract at Aubenas would not be extended, I don't know why. So I contacted him in January, via social networks. I had a two-hour discussion with him and I passed on the message: "I want you!" I think talent is not wasted. And when I see that he made all the match sheets in Nationale 2, it means he has the physique." - St Claude Coach
