Fans Voted Semi Best At No.13

Rugby fans have voted Flying Fijians skipper Semi Radradra as the best centre in the world.

The Somosomo, Taveuni native beat fellow Fijian and France centre Virimi Vakatawa in a poll where Planet Rugby asked 20,000 fans to name their Team Of 2020.

Radradra gained 52.2% of the votes, followed by France international Vakatawa (26.6%), England’s Henry Slade (16.6%) and Australia’s Jordan Petaia (4.7%).

The code hopper has hit the ground running in the Gallagher Premiership Rugby since joining Bristol Bears from Top 14 outfit Bordeaux-Bègles, and justified the hype over his high profile move with several outstanding performances. His attacking brilliance played a big part in Bristol to win their first European trophy courtesy of victory over Toulon in the Challenge Cup final.

He also led the Flying Fijians 38-24 win over Georgia in the Autumn Nations Cup.
