Biography
Speed and finishing power are the calling cards of Tom Zukisani, the South African wing who made the move to Racing 92 in search of the bright lights of the Top 14. Born on 8 February 2004, Zukisani earned his switch to France after showcasing his try-scoring instincts in South African domestic rugby, and he arrives in Paris with the raw tools to trouble defences at the highest level. His game is built on a potent blend of physicality and pace, allowing him to exploit space out wide and finish the chances that come his way. For Racing, his brief is clear: stretch defences, hunt for tries and offer a reliable presence on the flank in defence. As a young player adapting to a new country and a famously demanding league, Zukisani faces the challenge of translating his promise into consistent performances, but the attributes that earned him his move are exactly the kind that thrive in the open spaces of the Top 14. If he continues to develop, he has the potential to become a genuine attacking weapon in the Racing backline.
