Raisuqe is part of the Fijian Rugby Sevens team in Paris and finished second in the Olympics to win the silver medal. He is believed to have been attempted against the US during pool play, and began heading towards Fiji against France in a gold medal match.
Raisuqe has been playing professionally in France since 2015, and joined top 14 champion Stade Francais that year. Raisuqe also played for the second division team, Nevers.

After his victory in 2021, he was very excited. He lifted the judge over his head when the final whistle exploded and was issued a red card for the incident.
Raisuqe became Castor's flanker in 2022, earning the team a top 14 final.
“He's a boy who shines on and off the field, a pillar of the Fijian community we have at the club, and we're very attached to him,” Castor Chairman Pierre Ibez Lebor said in a statement.
