Adrea Cocagi

Adrea Cocagi brings genuine Pacific power and the offloading instincts of the Fijian rugby tradition to his role with Castres Olympique. Born in March 1994, he has played in both the midfield and the back row at club level, with his physical profile and ball-handling skills providing a versatile attacking presence. His game is defined by what makes Fijian backs and back-rowers so distinctive: the ability to absorb contact and keep the ball alive, sharp short footwork in tight spaces, and the kind of carrying weight that puts defences immediately on the back foot. In a Top 14 environment that prizes physical confrontation, those qualities make him a difficult opponent to plan around. Castres have built their identity on a forward-driven game that thrives on direct ball, and Cocagi's profile fits that template. His contributions in collision work, support play and offloads add an extra attacking dimension to a side accustomed to imposing itself physically on opposition packs. He has also worn the colours of Fiji at international level, an experience that brought him exposure to the highest tier of the global game and reinforced his physical and technical development. At Castres, he continues to serve as a powerful, versatile option who can be deployed where the matchday plan most needs his combination of size, footwork and offloading skill.
