Vodafone Flying Fijians center Levani Botia was at it again.

Botia steam rolled through another attempted Top 14 tackle and is fast becoming a favourite on social media with his powerful running in the Top 14 competition.

The former Wardens player smashed through Paddy Butler's attempted tackle with ease, which helped set up a try for his side La-Rochelle in their 15‑11 loss to the Top 14 newcomers Pau.

In other matches in the European competition, Nikola Matawalu's Bath side lost to Newcastle 14-19, Asaeli Tikoirotuma and the London Irish lost to Gloucester 14-27, Josh Matavesi's Ospreys lost to the Newport Gwent Dragons 7-12, Josaia Wini scored two tries for Stade Français as they thrashed Benetton Treviso 40-14 while Vereniki Goneva's Leicester Tigers lost to Saracens 6-26.
