Bristol tweet containing 'disturbing' Radradra video goes viral
By Liam Heagney
A video by Bristol Bears announcing the arrival of the real Semi Radradra in the Gallagher Premiership has gone viral since the club posted a tweet early on Saturday.
There was much negative commentary last weekend following the restart of the Premiership where explosive players such as Fijian flyer Radradra and new Sale signing Manu Tuilagi were largely deprived of the ball.
Their lack of involvement in the action was attributed to low frills rugby in penalty ridden matches - the six games across the opening weekend of the Premiership suffered from 164 penalties being awarded, an average of more than 27 per game.
Following much debate in the aftermath of the round 14 matches which restarted the Premiership following its five-month lockdown due to the pandemic, commentary that included Sale boss Steve Diamond dismissing scrums as boring, there were hopes that teams would commit to producing better play in round 15.
This is what transpired with high-flying Bristol. Whereas their victory last Saturday over Saracens was low key with minimal moments of out-of-your-seat action, the entertainment levels went through the roof at Kingsholm on Friday night with the Bears defeating West Country rivals Gloucester on a 33-24 scoreline.
To the fore in his second appearance for the English club since joining from Bordeaux was Radradra, the box-office Fijian centre scoring a try and making two others during a first-half onslaught which saw Bristol claim four tries in 23 minutes. He also went on to carry for a total of 130 metres.
The club's communications team have now celebrated this impact on social media, tweeting about a video which "contains content Premiership Rugby defences may find disturbing".
Bristol boss Pat Lam and Gloucester coach George Skivington were both in admiration of Radradra’s display. Skivington said: “He is pretty special, isn’t he? There were two or three showings of what he’s made of. He is an outstanding player.”

My name is Amelia Jonathan from the United States, Using this opportunity to thank Dr. Ughulu is a grateful thing to me, for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease, I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has be gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Ughulu who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Ughulu and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease, then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now. I promise Dr Ughulu I will testify about his good work on the internet.

Go to commentsI’d take the Sharks, Stormers, Bulls, and Lions back in a second. Super Rugby Pacific is improving and the conference system sucked ass and never should have been implemented but if you think the quality of rugby is better without the South African franchises, you are kidding yourself.
And there is nothing authentic about Moana Pacifika, it is a sixth NZ franchise. Almost all of the players are NZ citizens, born and raised in NZ, were developed by NZ secondary schools and play in the NPC. The players just happen to be of Pacific heritage (just as there are a very large number of Pacific heritage players on the original five NZ franchises). Moana Pacifika is a marketing ploy for Auckland’s second SRP franchise.
Fiji Drua are legitimately a Pacific island team. Most players are born in Fiji, the players live and train in Fiji, and they play their home matches in Fiji.
