Boudjellal takes to Twitter to spark speculation Toulon have signed a Fijian Olympic medal winner

It emerged on Thursday that the eccentric Top 14 club boss has been in negations with a sevens star, but no name was mentioned at time.

However, Boudjellal took to Twitter on Friday night and posted an action video of Masivesi Dakuwaqa, a member of the Fiji team that were crowned Olympic sevens champion at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.

Nearly two years ago, in May 2017, hot had been announced that Dakuwaqa had switched codes to league and signed with NRL outfit, the Canberra Raiders. 

He then moved to Western Force for their debut season in World Series Rugby and left the Australia side’s coach, Tim Sampson, singing the praises of the Fijian who overcame a childhood eye injury to forge a professional career in rugby.

“It’s amazing. He suffered a freak accident some years back,” said Sampson in interviews following Dakuwaqa’s debut in the wing in June last year. “For him to showcase the skills that he dishes up is pretty impressive considering.

“It’s something he’s gotten used to over the years. You wouldn’t know (he’s blind in one eye) looking at how he plays. He’s a breath of fresh air for us. He’s very popular amongst the squad.

“He adds a different dynamic to the side with his size and speed. He’s someone who I think will develop into a quality player.”

The 25-year-old, who tips the scales at 105kgs, featured in the Force’s Rugby Asia Showcase Series game against the South China Tigers on March 29 but we missing from Friday night’s win over Asia Pacific Dragons in Perth. 

If the winger is signed by Boudjellal, his arrival would compensate for the departures of Josua Tuisova in Lyon and Filipo Nakosi to Castres.

Email: prowizardgilbertrecovery(@)  engineer.comWhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234Telegram: https://t.me/Pro_Wizard_Gilbert_RecoveryI never imagined I’d become a victim of a scam—especially in the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency. When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
