A big, hard running loose forward in his first French season. Turagaca previously played for the Kaiviti Silktails, New Zealand grade competitions and recently in Georgia’s top division.
Bourgoin’s 7 match losing stream came to an end, surprisingly on the road against the much fancied Rouen and it was their impressive new backrower Meli Turagaca who scored the winning try in the 70th minute.
Their only win up until this point came in the opening round, a long time between drinks.
On debut for the visitors was former Nimes Flyer Saimone Qeleca who started on the wing. It’s his first appearance in the National 1.
Meli Turagaca started at Lock for Bourgoin in their trip to Niort in round 7.
He scored his first try in the competition and also for his club in the 25th minute and it would be the visitors only 5 pointer for the afternoon.
Final score 49-16.
Meli Turagaca was handed his first starting jersey in the National 1. He started at Number 8 in Bourgoin’s trip to Perigueux.
He has played every match this season and looks to be making a good impression at his new club.
Meli Turagaca made his official National 1 debut, coming off the bench in Bourgoin’s 24-17 win over Albi in round 1.
