Fiji international Josaia Raisuqe has died after an accident in France where he played for Top 14 side Castres, local media reports said on Thursday.

Wing Raisuqe, 30, was part of the Fijian sevens side that won silver at last year's Paris Olympics. He had joined Castres in 2021.

Fellow Top 14 side Toulouse said they were shocked to learn of Raisuqe's death.

"The entire club would like to express their support and sincerest condolences to his family and friends, as well as to his club Castres Olympique," Toulouse posted on X.

Saturday's Top 14 match between Castres and Clermont Auvergne may be postponed, media reports said.
