Just awful news we send our deepest condolences to his close family and friends at this awful time. Extremely sad and was a player he was for both club and county and seemed like a really nice and lovable guy.

His club are yet to make a statement, but Toulouse shared this statement on X: “Toulouse were shocked to learn of the death of Josaia Raisuqe this morning in a road accident.

“The entire club wishes to express its support and sincere condolences to his family, loved ones and his club, Castres Olympique.”

Raisuqe represented Fiji at the Olympic Games in Paris last year, winning a silver medal.

He spent the majority of his career in France, representing Stade Francais, Nevers and Castres, and had agreed to join Brive ahead of next season.
