Radradra took just 4 seconds to remind of us of his talent
Bristol Bears were boosted by the return of Harry Randall, captain Steven Luatua and Semi Radradra, but it was the Fijian that stood out on return in particular.
Radradra made his first outing of the season from the bench following his Olympic gold-winning exploits in the summer.
Radradra took just four seconds after coming on to show his remarkable talents, getting a brilliant offload off to a teammate after making a half bust against British and Irish Lions LRZ and Chris Harris.
Bristol still lost but that’s not important. It’s great to Semi back in action, as he’s probably on his day the best player in the game.

For everyone’s sake, hopefully he remains hail and hearty ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France. It would be a tragedy for the sport if we don’t get to see him in the biggest tournament just under two years time.
