A blessed open field runner. Wainiqolo burst onto the scene at the 2021 Olympics and has since grown into one of Fiji’s leading Wingers and most dynamic backs in the Top 14.
Jiuta Wainiqolo set up a try after another dazzling run in Toulon’s Quarter Final victory over Castres. He would later score the final try of the game to take the score past the half century mark.
Although the scoreline suggests a comfortable win, Castres only trailed by 3 points with 10 minutes remaining.
Wainiqolo chalked up over 130 metres, easily the most in the game and also beat the most defenders with 7.
