Josaia Raisuqe, a beaming 30-year-old rugby sensation, has met an untimely end. The French club Castres Olympique announced his passing, reporting that he tragically lost his life in a road accident, specifically after his car collided with a train.
The Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) shared its "deepest sympathies" and postponed the league match against ASM Clermont Auvergne from May 21 to May 24. The remainder of the weekend matches this season will be played in Raisuqe's honor. Castres president Pierre-Yves Revol fondly remembered Raisuqe, describing him as a "pillar of the Fijian community within the club" and a player who shone both on and off the field.
Raisuqe, born in Fiji, played seven times for Castres this season, with his last appearance being the impressive 52-6 victory over Toulouse on April 27. The Olympic Summer Games 2020 saw him bring home silver for Fiji in the rugby sevens competition, securing the island nation's sole medal. Fiji celebrated just its fourth Olympic medal with this achievement.
It's a mystery what led to the train-car collision, as no additional information about the fateful circumstances has been revealed in the reports presented[1][2][3].
