This is what Bristol Bears’ Galáctico signing did to Racing 92 over the weekend
Semi Radradra as everyone now knows has signed for Bristol Bears in a signing that has set European Rugby minds racing. What he did for Bordeaux over the weekend was brutal.
The Fijian star scored a brace for the Southern French team over the weekend, increasing the hype around the 27-year-old.
27 year-old 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.
“There is no doubt that Semi is one of the best players in the world – he’s truly a world-class performer and we are so excited about what he can do for the team,” said Director of Rugby Pat Lam.
The new Bristol signing showcased his potential for the English team with a try from 5 metres out and another score from the 22, showing that he is dangerous from close and from far out.

“I visited the world class facilities at Ashton Gate and saw the progress of the new training ground – it’s a fantastic club to be joining with a bright future ahead. I can’t wait to get started and contributing to the Bristol Bears vision.”
