Bio

Raphael Lakafia has emerged as a young, talented backrow player who will provide serious competition to his more experienced colleagues. Primarily a number eight, Lakafia uses his 6ft 4in frame to burst his way over the gainline. A product of Biarritz's successful academy system, Lakafia is the son of former French javelin champion Jean-Paul Lakafia.
