One of Fiji’s rugby stars was among the La Rochelle pack that travelled to play the Heineken Champions Cup grandfinal at the lion’s den in Dublin, Ireland and came out victorious.
Levani Botia, the centre turned flanker, starred for the French club as they beat Leinster 27-26 to retain the prestigous Champions Cup.
