Il a quitt\u00e9 Toulon le c\u0153ur lourd, l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 dernier, lui qui avait d\u00e9couvert l\u2019Europe sur la Rade et \u00e9tait tomb\u00e9 amoureux de cette derni\u00e8re. Un amour r\u00e9ciproque termin\u00e9 pr\u00e9matur\u00e9ment par manque de garantie sur son temps de jeu et un statut de non-Jiff (Joueur issu des fili\u00e8res de formation) qui limitait ses perspectives, le club en ayant recrut\u00e9 deux autres (Mercer et Brex) cet \u00e9t\u00e9. Depuis, Jiuta Wainiqolo fait le bonheur du LOU, avec lequel il revendique le statut de meilleur marqueur du Top 14 (15 essais, dont 3 en 12 minutes lors du dernier match face \u00e0 Montauban, tripl\u00e9 le plus rapide de l\u2019histoire du championnat).<\/p>\n

De quoi laisser des regrets \u00e0 de nombreux supporters toulonnais, mais aussi \u00e0 ses ex-co\u00e9quipiers : \u00ab\u00a0On a cr\u00e9\u00e9 des liens assez forts, on n\u2019\u00e9tait pas heureux de le voir partir. Mais \u00e7a fait partie du rugby et on s\u2019adapte, et il a l\u2019air heureux l\u00e0-bas. On l\u2019a remplac\u00e9 par d\u2019autres joueurs qu\u2019on est content d\u2019avoir. On sera content de le voir avant et apr\u00e8s, mais il reste quand m\u00eame ennemi du jour pendant le match<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb, d\u00e9roule Mathieu Sma\u00efli.<\/p>\n

Au-del\u00e0 de la joie des retrouvailles, les Varois savent qu\u2019ils devront se m\u00e9fier de l\u2019ailier fidjien, auteur d\u2019un essai lors de son retour \u00e0 Mayol \u00e0 l\u2019aller<\/a>\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Qu\u2019il reste tranquille (rires)<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb, s\u2019amuse Esteban Abadie. \u00ab\u00a0Il faudra qu\u2019on arrive \u00e0 le canaliser car on conna\u00eet ses qualit\u00e9s. \u00c7a reste un facteur X de leur \u00e9quipe. On va essayer de le limiter, qu\u2019il n\u2019ait pas des ballons simples avec un couloir de 20<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>m\u00e8tres par exemple, et qu\u2019il ait au moins deux joueurs sur lui \u00e0 chaque fois<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb, pr\u00e9vient Mathieu Sma\u00efli.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Il a quitté Toulon le cœur lourd, l’été dernier, lui qui avait découvert l’Europe sur la Rade et était tombé amoureux de cette dernière.
