Watch: NRL convert Semi Radradra already on Fijian radar
By Online Editors
After only one month of rugby at French Powerhouse Toulon, NRL-convert Semi Radradra has been taking the Top 14 by storm. The centre/wing has hit the ground running for Toulon, compiling impressive numbers in just 4 starts.
The rich vein of form has not gone unnoticed.
“Semi Radradra has been in very good form since arriving at Toulon,” Fijian coach McKee told the Fijian Sun.
“I will be making contact with him during the tour to discuss our plans going forward.”
Having played for the Fiji sevens national side in 2011, under IRB rules Radradra is eligible for Fiji however has already been ruled out of playing in any of Fiji's end of year tests.
Radradra officially signed a one-year deal with the French rugby powerhouse back in January and has an option for a second season, but has expressed a desire to return to the NRL after his Toulon contract ends putting an international career with Fiji in doubt.
Semi could be back playing in the NRL before the chance to play for his country arises, with no tests currently scheduled for Fiji after the November tour.

Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
