A tough, rugged backrower who doesn’t take a backward step. Tuisue is one of Fiji’s leading backrowers and has the ability to play anywhere from 4-8.
Provence’ form has been hard to gauge this season, their 2 wins heading into round 6 were over struggling sides Biarritz and Dax. Although they were convincing in their wins (52-10, 42-15), they suffered 3 losses including a heavy defeat to Vannes 40-7.
In round 6 however they managed to beat one of the competition heavyweights in Grenoble on their own turf.
Trailing 20-11 at the break, the visitors managed to work their way back into the game and take the lead back in the 2nd half, holding out the home side until the final whistle for a 1 point win 24-23.
Albert Tuisue came off the bench in this match, playing the final 15 minutes. He managed 3 carries and 1 tackle.
Albert Tuisue had his best performance in a Provence shirt. They faced Dax and were awarded a penalty try after only 3 minutes. It didn’t take long for Provence to add to their lead, scoring again in the 8th minute via rolling maul to Tuisue, his first 5 pointer for the club.
He also made 12 carries, 2nd only to Setareki Bituniyata, 51 metres and missed none of his 12 tackle attempts.
The Flying Fijians loosie also gave away 3 penalties, mostly at the ruck. Final score Provence 42-15 Dax.
