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. Radike managed to score in his first game with the club in the opening six minutes. He continued to enjoy this form throughout his year at the club which included him scoring the winning try in the French Championship final against ASM Clermont Auvergne, this followed his two tries coming of the bench both times against Biarritz Olympique in the semi final. Following his French Championship final win, Radike set his sights on new challenges in Japan where he joined Yokogawa Atlasters. With a lot more cultural and language barriers, Radike enjoyed the challenges that lay outside of Rugby as well as on the pitch where they play a very different style to the Super 14 and Top 14. Radike has played at the top level in the Super 14, Heineken Cup, Top 14, and currently in Japan where the level of Rugby is closing in on other top competitions. He is a valuable asset to any club as he oozes experience, leadership, and the ability to punish the opposition with his size and skill. Radike, his wife Kerrie, and their two beautiful children have enjoyed Japan immensely, taking a liking to its culture and kind people. With Radike’s body in such great shape to continue playing rugby for several more seasons , he and his family have no plans of moving away from Japan..

  • Future of Rugby Union in Australia
    Future of rugby union in Australia Submission to the Senate Community Affairs References Committee Submitted by: Dr David Masters 20 September, 2017 I present this submission as a passionate supporter of both rugby and of the recognition of the State of Western Australia as a partner within the Commonwealth of Australia. I am a foundation member of the Western Force and prepared background material for the Western Force during the development of the “Own the Force” initiative. At this time, I was also a member of a small group advising Force CEO Mark Sinderberry on ownership options. 1 Submission summary The basis to this submission is that the by closing the Western Force rugby team the ARU have: • Not acted in the best interests of Australian rugby; • Used a flawed analysis in their assessment of the need to reduce teams; • Been dishonest in attributing the reasons for their financial losses and; • Been disingenuous in their dealing with Western Force supporters, the media and the Australian public. These will be covered, where appropriate within the specified terms of reference. Key conclusions are substantiated within the main document and are summarised as follows: 1. There is no evidence that increasing the number of Australian Super Rugby teams from 3 to 4 and then to 5 has been the cause of Australia’s recent poor performance in Super Rugby. There is evidence that this decline is associated with the ARU decision to allow and even encourage Australian rugby players to join foreign teams. Continued loss of players to Europe with mean rugby will follow Australian hockey.
