‘BRISTOL HAVE THE BEST BACK IN WORLD’

I’ve played with and against Semi Radradra and the guy is a freak of nature. When he steps on to the rugby pitch, it’s like he’s 10-foot tall and bullet proof. He kills it every time he plays.

Under that shirt of his, he’s probably got five per cent body fat. There’s so much strength under his bonnet. He grew up with the village farm life in Fiji. People in Fiji don’t pick up weights until they’re 18. It’s all natural, raw power that he developed helping his dad as a kid.

The World Cup in Japan was his biggest stage yet. I’ll never forget watching him on TV in the pool game against Wales. The Welsh guys are a tough bunch and he was flattening them. He’ll beat the man in front of him nine times out of 10.

He’s got all the Fijian flair: offloads, one of the strongest fends out there and an outside step that will tie you in knots.

Semi’s a once in a lifetime player and there’s a case for saying he’s the best back in the world. Bristol are lucky to have him. Whatever money they’re paying him, it’ll be worth it.
