This Saturday evening, the French XV will cross paths with one of the most powerful players in the Top 14.
This player is the Fijian international Josua Tuisova.
The Racing 92 player who played for Rugby Club Toulonnais and LOU Rugby is maddening. A ball of muscle who very frequently rolls over opposing defenses.
This Saturday evening, the solid Fijian will try to undermine the Tricolore defense, on the Bordeaux side, during the second test match of the French XV.
Asked via Midi Olympique, the former manager of Rugby Club Toulonnais, Bernard Laporte remembers very well the arrival of Josua Tuisova in Toulon.
He tells. Extract:
“When Josh came to us, he wasn’t even 18 years old. A friend told me about the phenomenon, so I saw a few videos of him playing rugby sevens and we immediately signed him. At the time, he was less strong but faster. I only played him on the wing: in his first match, he scored a try after a magnificent goose step. In the stands, we heard: “OUUUUUU, who is this guy? “.
And then, he discovered bodybuilding. At the club, some guys told him: “Stop lifting bars, it’s useless!” But the stronger he was, the more he turned opponents around. As Jacques Fouroux said in his time, Tuisova excels today in one-on-two! »
Josua Tuisova should start in the center of the Fijian attack this Saturday against the XV of France.
