A skilful player who has the ability to play anywhere across the backline. Tuicuvu is a quiet achiever, is great defensively and has a good turn of speed. He is in his 2nd year with Toulon.
Setariki Tuicuvu scored Toulon’s 2nd and final try in their Semi Final loss to Bordeaux 24-39.
The Nadi native was probably their most dangerous player on the night, making their first linebreak on a 40 metre run in the first half, bumping the fullback on his way.
He scored after running a great line in the 61st minute to bring his side back into the game but the home side had too much class in the end.
Tuicuvu was one of the players cut from the Flying Fijians extended squad and after tonights performance where he topped 100 metres and beat 5 defenders, it truly leaves fans scratching their heads.
Setariki Tuicuvu started on the wing for Toulon in their Quarter Final victory over Castres. He set up a try and was heavily involved, especially early in the match.
The face Bordeaux next weekend for a place in the Top 14 final.
