Raka shows individual brilliance to destroy Toulouse

Raka shows individual brilliance to destroy Toulouse

Clermont Wing Alivereti Raka in action against Toulouse.

In a game that has been full of incident, Fijian born wing Alifereti Raka scored an unbelievable individual try from his own ten meter line against Toulouse.

Much has been expected of the Fijian wing since he joined the Clermont academy in November 2014.

However he is beginning to show what he is capable after scoring against Brive last week, and backing it up with this unbelievable effort last weekend.

Raka beat six players on his way to the line, including Timoci Matanavou, Toby Flood and Gillian Galan. He was not finished there either. In the 60th minute the Fijian winger beat Census Johnston with his terrific pace before touching down for his second try.

Clermont beat Toulouse 32‑23 to top the French Top 14 table standing.
