An athletic, mobile loose forward with a high workrate. Tagitagivalu has played some of his best rugby over the past 3 years and was one of Fiji’s best at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Racing bounced back after their loss in Castres last weekend with a tough win over Montpellier 32-25.
Lekima Tagitagivalu started at Flanker for the 2nd straight week. He was strong defensively and was solid at lineout but he exited the game in the 37th minute with a knee injury.
The extent of the injury is yet to be determined but he did look quiet uncomfortable during the game.
Lekima Tagitagivalu made his debut for Racing in their opening round loss to Lyon 7-32.
He started on the bench and entered the game at the start of the 2nd half.
He made 7 carries, 7 tackles and 1 turnover.
A solid showing from Lekima Tagitagivalu in Fiji’s 2nd test match of the season and last for the July window.
He started at blinside flanker again and made 6 carries and 10 tackles. Also a linebreak assist with a deft offload to Kalaveti Ravouvou in the first half.
Tagitagivalu started at Flanker for Fiji in their loss to Australia.
Statistically there isn’t much to write home about but the Yasawa native was busy off the ball being where he was needed especially to finish off Jiuta Wainiqolo’s amazing run to score in the right corner.
