Rookie winger Semi Lagivala lit up the field for Mont de Marsan with a first half hat-trick in their 52-7 win over Soyaux in the French Division 2 yesterday, marking his first tries for the club.
One of Lagivala’s standout moments came from a kick chase, securing the ball just inside the dead-ball line.
However, he was absent from the second half, with reasons for his non-appearance unclear.
Adding to Mont de Marsan’s impressive performance, Eroni Sau known as the ‘Sledgehammer,’ lived up to his nickname by scoring a first-half double, including a stunning solo effort where he evaded several defenders to find the try line.
He continued his impactful play into the second half, setting up another try with a skillful offload after another break.
