Benito Masilevu's huge side-steps give Brive late victory over Toulouse

Benito Masilevu has extended his contract at Brive just days after scoring a stunning try that helped them beat Toulouse 26-19 in their Top 14 clash. He showed up young star Gael Fickou with some outrageous stepping before scoring the match winner.

The late try gave Brive a well deserved home victory over the giant club, after they had led 16-6 at halftime. Scores were tied late in the game but the former Fiji Sevens flyer came on as a replacement late in the match, and lit up the turf with virtually his first touch of the ball.

He got it from a standing start but produced two huge steps to get the better of France centre Fickou, who couldn’t contain last season’s second highest try scorer on the 7’s World Series circuit. He actually scored 27 tries over the nine-leg tournament, so knows his way to the whitewash.

The 24-year-old joined Brive on a two year deal in June last year but this week signed a contract extension, meaning he’ll be at the club for another two years on top of that, taking him to 2017.

He said he was very happy to continue the adventure, and would give everything on the field to be able to thank the entire sports staff, who trusted him. “Brive gave me the opportunity to evolve in the Top 14, the best league in the world,” Masilevu said.

Vice President in charge of sport, Max Mamers said: “We are proud to welcome to our group for the next two seasons Benito Masilevu. The Fijian magician will worry opposing defenses with his speed and deadly pressure.”

Fickou didn’t have time to be worried, as before he could think about it, Masilevu was past him with his well balanced out then in then out again. Absolutely deadly one-on-one finishing.
