The players of Peaceful are true lovers of rugby. Whether there is a deluge, the “terrain” looks like a swamp or gusts of wind over 150 km / h rage, nothing can stop them from practicing their passion. The center of the All Blacks, Malakai Fekitoa, has provided further proof.
Native of the islands Tonga, Fekitoa, who has played 24 times for New Zealand and was world champion in 2015, posted a video on his account Instagram in which he enjoys a game of improvised rugby. No balloon for the occasion, but … a coconut. “It’s so much better with a coconut,” wrote the player wistfully, lamenting last week the inability to travel due to the global pandemic of Covid-19.
Mixed experience in Toulon
He misses Tongan beaches, that’s for sure. Just like his family, he who comes from a siblings of 14 members. This video allows him to think of his family, one of his brothers, Saia, is also pro Narbonne (National) and international… Tongan (2 capes). Today, Malakai Fekitoa plays in England in the Wasps. A club he joined after a somewhat mixed experience at Toulon.
If he argued 39 games in two seasons and scored all the same 11 tries, the center has not fully met the expectations placed on it. Fekitoa never completely succeeded in winning his position, even being aligned several times on a wing. And it is not trivial if he only stayed two years in the harbor. The Old Continent is decidedly not successful.
