A powerful, aggressive loose forward with a great offload. Nacika seemingly came out of nowhere to join Dax and quickly established himself in the side. He has proven to be a heavy hitter and has a knack of beating the first defender.

Josaia Nacika started the match against Brive strongly with 9 tough carries but it was in defence where he was pinged just before halftime for a dangerous tackle on the opposition halfback.

Thinking the ball had left the ruck, he rushed out of the line to tackle the halfback and tipped him over into a dangerous position, earning him a straight red card.

Dax would go on to lose the match 8-23.
