Report: Semi Radradra fit for Autumn Nations Cup
- 3154
Semi Radradra is fit to feature for Fiji in the Autumn Nations Cup according to a report by RMC Sport.
The Fijian centre has reportedly recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up in the Challenge Cup faster than expected and could feature in Fiji's opening game against France. RMC Sport sources have revealed that Semi Radradra is expected to link up with the Fijian squad in Limoges, Fiji's base for the Autumn Nations Cup, on Wednesday having recovered from the injury.
Vern Cotter's side kick off their Autumn Nations Cup on 15 November against France at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint Etienne before clashes with Itlay and Scotland. The prospect of Radradra featuring in the midfield against France could pit two of Europe's most in form centres against each other with Virimi Vakatawa likely to continue at outside centre for France.
Radradra could return to the centres for Fiji after starring at the Rugby World Cup on the wing. Josua Tuisova has been in excellent form for Lyon on the wing while the return of Nemani Nadolo to the national set up could be another indication of his move back to the #13 jumper.
The 28-year-old has been a standout for the Bristol Bears since making the switch from Bordeaux. He set a sensational try inside the first minute of the Challenge Cup Final against Toulon while he also helped the side reach the Premiership semi-finals scoring two tries and assisting a further two in just 8 appearances.
