RECASTS with Travers quotes
Racing 92 head coach Laurent Travers said Virimi Vakatawa was one of the world s best players after the France centre set up two tries as last season s runners-up held on to beat Connacht 26-22 on Sunday on the opening weekend of the European Champions Cup.
Auckland-born Vakatawa continued his good international form, where he scored twice in les Bleus autumn fixtures, as he provided for former Australia full-back Kurtley Beale and youngster Donovan Taofifenua in the first half. He s not among the best players in the world by accident. He s a player who can make a difference and create space for others, Travers said.
