Fiji winger Jiuta Wainiqolo has enjoyed a prolific try-scoring season in France's Top 14, crossing the whitewash 18 times in 20 games for Lyon. This tally places him ahead of rivals like Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who scored 13 tries for European champions Bordeaux Begles. Wainiqolo's performances have drawn comparisons to football's Harry Kane for his strike rate.

Wainiqolo, who previously represented Fiji in rugby sevens, winning gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, credits his football background for his agility and evasiveness. His transition to the 15-a-side game has been impactful, including a memorable try assist against Australia where he sliced past four defenders.

As Fiji prepares to face England, Wainiqolo expressed confidence in his team's physicality, aiming to match South Africa's approach against England. His move to Lyon was motivated by a desire for consistent game time, a factor he believes is crucial for his development and enjoyment of the sport.
