Radike burst on to the Australian Rugby scene in 2000 when he had a fantastic debut year with the ACT Brumbies and was instantaneously on the radar for national selection for both his home country Fiji, and his adopted country Australia. Radike however continued to ply his trade for a further six years at the Brumbies, where he regularly broke through numerous opposition tackles at once on his way to the try line. In 2004 Radike was presented with his Australian guernsey to become the 789th Wallaby, where he managed to add six tests to his name. In the summer of 2006, Radike switched from the Brumbies and moved into France’s Top 14 League to play with Stade Francais Paris on a one year deal, rejecting a very lucrative deal with Cardiff Blues.
