the essential
The two Fijians, friends in life and former SUA teammates, will face each other this Thursday evening in Corrèze, in the center of the field.
On the one hand, there is Kolinio Ramoka. The Fijian has just extended until 2027 (plus an optional year) with SU Agen and he is the spearhead of this team. Since his return to the field this season, the former Cognac player has scored three tries and is constantly putting his team ahead. He is back at his best and seems to be flourishing again within Sébastien Calvet’s system.
Opposite, there is Timilaï Rokoduru. Almost 32 years old, the Fijian has been discovering a new city, a new club and a new game plan in Corrèze since last summer. Above all, he now plays in the center where his power and scratching qualities are better exploited than on the wing. Moreover, with the number 14 on his back, “Jim” never convinced in Lot-et-Garonne where his lack of speed was often criticized. This is why Pierre-Henri Broncan makes him a second center and the former Lyon player is gradually making his mark.
Furthermore, Rokoduru and Ramoka are very good friends in life. The first city returns regularly to Lot-et-Garonne and the two men meet around the famous “kava” (traditional Fijian drink).
Railevu also in the game
These reunions will not be the only notable ones. Indeed, Tevita Railevu will start on the Brive wing. “Tex”, who has only played once in fourteen days (it was in Nevers at the start of the season, Editor’s note), will discover the Amédée-Domenech stadium in his new colors this Friday evening. Recruited late by “PHB” last summer, the Fijian is struggling to find his place within the CAB. But the reception of SU Agen constitutes a great opportunity for him. Three-quarters of Agenese have also been warned. They know that the winger has great power and makes big tackles. A nice reunion on the horizon.
