A talented ball runner, evasive with great anticipation. Maqala’s impressive debut at the 2021 Olympics saw him quickly snapped up by Bayonne where he has remained since. His current season is shaping as his best yet.
Latest Updates
Bayonne’s record breaking season came to an end, losing 25-32 to Toulouse. They kicked 5 first half penalties but probably would like to have maintained the pressure in hindsight.
Maqala started at Centre, created one of their 2 linebreaks in the match but overall couldn’t break through the stingy Toulouse defence. He finishes the season with 11 tries from 20 matches and a likely contender for Centre of the year.
Bayonne have qualified for their first Semi Final in the Top 14 after beating Clermont 20-3. The match was played in pouring rain and points were hard to come by but the home side never looked uncomfortable in the end.
