While being courted by other big names in the league such as Stade Rochelais, Rugby Club Toulonnais or ASM Clermont, Josua Tuisova, whose contract expired next June with LOU Rugby, has finally chosen to join Racing 92. After asking extra time to making his decision, the Fijian international decided at the end of last week by opting for the offer of the club Hauts-de-Seine, and this not only for sporting reasons.
In fact, according to Progress, the presence of a Fijian community in the Paris region would have weighed on the budget at the time of the final choice. With the Ciels et Blancs, he will find in particular his compatriots Vinaya Habosi (Fijian Drua) and Wame Naituvi (Mont-de-Marsan), also registered.
Josua Tuisova’s arrival should be made official this Monday by Racing 92.
