13s would have seen him qualify for the semifinals of the 2012 London Olympics. He was trialled by the Detroit Lions NFL team but saw sevens as a way to play football and also have a shot at the Olympics. Now he has progressed to the 15-man game in a professional capacity.

Tadhg Beirne and Duhan van der Merwe both scored tries at Murrayfield Japan were finally on the board with 20 minutes remaining, Himeno peeling off the back of a lineout and carried over the line by the momentum of a good leg drive. Yu Tamura converted, and added a penalty soon thereafter which did little to affect the outcome as the home side closed the game out with ease. In all it was a solid defensive performance from the Lions in their first outing of 2021, and Biggar's tactical kicking in particular impressed, but Gatland will want to see his side more clinical with the ball during their upcoming tour of South Africa. What's next for the Lions? The Lions will now head to Johannesburg to begin their tour of South Africa.
Former Chiefs winger signs deal with StormersWELCOME RETURN: Former Chiefs wing Sailosi Tagicakibau is returning to Super Rugby in a loan deal with the Stormers. Sailosi TagicakibauFormer Chiefs wing Sailosi Tagicakibau is returning to Super Rugby with the Stormers and is set to debut for the South African franchise on their Australasian tour. The 31-year-old Samoan international played was schooled in New Zealand and played eight games for the Chiefs in 2005 before joining London Irish where he became a mainstay of their backline, playing 157 games.
Now the Stormers, desperate to add some size to their outside backs, have lured the 1. 93m, 100kg Tagicakibau to Cape Town on a loan deal with London Irish. He won't be involved in tomorrow's clash with the Hurricanes at Newlands but is expected to be on the plane with the squad for their four-week tour where they play the Crusaders, Chiefs, Brumbies and Reds. Tagicakibau, a former Taranaki player and Samoan Sevens star, has played at the last three Rugby World Cups. London Irish director of rugby, Brian Smith felt his club had the depth to cover Tagicakibau's absence and was happy for him to get game time in Super Rugby again. "I signed Losi to London Irish back in 2005 and he has gone on to be one of the best wingers in the Premiership during that period, " Smith said on the London Irish website. "He has been an outstanding servant for our club and he's asked for the chance to go and join the Stormers for their Super Rugby campaign.

The second rower was closely followed by Justin Tipuric, who was hurt in a tackle and replaced by Taulupe Faletau with a quarter of the match played. Gatland confirmed post-match that Jones had suffered a dislocated shoulder and would be returning to Wales. Jones' injury spoiled what was an otherwise pleasing day for the Lions, who were 21 points ahead in as many minutes thanks to tries from Josh Adams, Duhan van der Merwe and Robbie Henshaw, with all three converted by Dan Biggar whose accurate kicking out of hand matched his efforts from the tee. Alun Wyn Jones left the field with an injury early on in the fixture Tadhg Beirne added the Lions' only other try eight minutes after half-time, with Kazuki Himeno responding on the hour mark for the visitors and Yu Tamura converting before adding a penalty.

We have a lot of options in our back three currently, so we can afford to let him go to Cape Town to continue to play regular rugby. "We have a good relationship with Robbie Fleck, the backs coach at the Stormers, so we know Losi will be in good hands. Jebb Sinclair went down there on loan for a season and came back a better player. We hope it goes well for Losi too. "Meanwhile, Glasgow have signed United States sevens star Carlin Isles, dubbed rugby union's "fastest man", subject to visa and a medical, the Scottish club announced today. The 24-year-old Isles is a former track athlete and his best 100m time of 10.
Adams was the first to score for the home side, stepping inside the cover defence from close range to dive over in the right-hand corner and give the restricted crowd a reason to cheer after Jones' enforced departure. Van der Merwe then went over in a similar spot, coasting down the touchline untouched after darting blindside from an unmanned ruck, an intercept from Henshaw setting up the score after Japan were threatening on attack. Robbie Henshaw is congratulated by Duhan van der Merwe after scoring And Henshaw was over shortly thereafter for a try of his own, taking a short pass from Ireland team-mate Conor Murray from an attacking lineout as the Lions raced to an early 21-0 lead.

But the Lions were unable to add to their score in the first half, and the second started with two spurned chances as Liam Williams knocked on with the line begging and Jones' replacement Courtney Lawes lost control in the act of placing the ball on the line. Beirne was not to be denied, however, taking a flat pass from Biggar in midfield and sprinting through a gap to score under the posts and make it 28-0 following the conversion.
"Everything has happened so quickly for me over the last couple of years and I'm just happy to be playing rugby and getting the opportunity to play at the highest level. "I hope to score tries for the Warriors, but I also want to continue to try and help grow the game and encourage young players to take up rugby. "It's very exciting to be moving to the 15-a-side game. It's a lot different to sevens but I want to work hard and do everything I can to succeed.
