'Cheat mode' - 60m Semi Radradra try lights up Challenge Cup
By Online Editors
Bristol Bears star Semi Radradra demonstrated his devastating pace and power to score a beautiful try against the Dragons in the Challenge Cup on Friday night.
The 28-year-old Fijian received the ball inside his own half and punched through the Dragons defence before beating two players en route to the try line at Ashton Gate.
With the help of Radradra, Bristol ultimately hammered the Dragons 56-17 at Ashton Gate to bag a European Challenge Cup semi-final place.
A standout individual across both rugby codes, the Fijian international arrived at Ashton Gate on a three-year deal. Radradra averaged 100m a game at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, lighting up the competition pool stages with a string of sensational displays, including a brace against Georgia.
During his time in the Australian NRL (National Rugby League), Radradra was named Dally M winger of the year for two seasons in a row, scoring 82 tries in 94 games for Parramatta Eels.
Radradra has enjoyed a stellar rugby union club career so far, representing Toulon and Bordeaux in the French Top 14, following his switch from the NRL in 2016.
The only certainty ahead of the knockout stage is that 2020 will see a new Challenge Cup winner crowned as none of the clubs in the last eight have lifted the trophy. Castres Olympique, Edinburgh Rugby and RC Toulon have all been defeated finalists.

I thought you meant in europe. Because all of the reasons theyre different I wouldn't correlate that to mean for europe, as in french broadcasters pay two or three times as much as the UK or SA broadcasters do, like they do for their league.
With France, it's not just about viewers, they are also paying much more. So no doubt there will be a hit (to the amount the French teams receive for only playing a fraction of it) but they may not care too much as long as the big clubs, the top 8 for example, enter the meaty end, and it wouldn't have the same value to them as the top14 contract/compensation does. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 separate networks broadcast deals only went to the clubs in their regions as well (that's how SR ended up (unbalanced) I believe).
