His stats don’t lie either with 827 metres made from 166 carries, nearly 5 metres per carry. 685 post contact metres are probably his most impressive with 4 try assists and an 80% tackle completion rate.
Former Black Rhinos Number 8 Nathan Hughes is in the sights of Top 14 club Racing 92. The Parisian club is still reeling from a poor 2025 season which saw them finish 10th and at times during the season in real danger of relegation.
Racing already boast a host of Fijians including Josua Tuisova, Vinaya Habosi, Wame Naituvi and the incoming Selestino Ravutaumada.
Kerevi is confirmed as one of the players departing the Shokki Shuttles although no destination has been confirmed. The Hooker played his first season of League One rugby, featuring in 9 matches including their promotion/relegation games and scored his first career try.
Toshiba Brave Lupus returned to the winners circle, bouncing back from last weeks heavy defeat to put Urayasu to the sword 61-19. Tamanivalu started at Centre, up against Wallaby Samu Kerevi.
