Donovan Taofifénua (born 30 March 1999) is a French rugby union player. He plays as a wing for Racing 92 in the Top 14. He is a cousin of France internationals Romain Taofifénua and Sébastien Taofifénua and is of Wallisian heritage.[1][2]
Emerging from ASM Clermont Auvergne's rank, Taofifénua was a member of the France U20 team that won the 2019 World Rugby Championship, and made his club debut during the 2019–20 season.[3][4]
He joined Racing 92 the next season, in search for more game time. There he scored six tries in the first part of the season, earning a first call-up for the French national team for the Autumn Nations Cup final against England.[3]
