Bears No 8 takes on his former club Wasps – ‘it was time for fresh start – for a place in the Premiership final
It is easy to identify a happy rugby player. Usually they are the ones who are winning games and, crucially, being properly fed as well. Some fine meals must be emerging from the kitchen currently being shared by Semi Radradra and Nathan Hughes to judge from the broad smiles and turbo-charged form of the Fijian-born pair seeking to squash Waspson Saturday and serve up a first Premiership final for their adopted Bristol Bears.
The pair’s weekly menu certainly sounds eligible for a Michelin star. Lamb curries and Fijian kokoda (a raw fish salad) are regular favourites and the title of head chef remains hotly contested. “It’s difficult to say,” says Hughes. “If it’s Fijian food I’d give it to him but if it’s Chinese I’ll take that because I’ve got Chinese heritage on my mum’s side of the family.”
