UBB have given their supporters one last present before signing off on 2025. Fiji international wing Salesi Rayasi (29, 3 caps) extended his contract on Tuesday until 2028.

Having arrived from Vannes after a long spell with the Hurricanes, Rayasi has managed to convince the club’s board to keep him. He has scored six tries in 11 appearances this season, turning out on the wing but also at full-back.

Only a few weeks ago, the Bordeaux hierarchy were not sure they would keep him. Some clubs had him in their sights, too. But his performances changed things.
