Racing Issue Short Statement on Nakarawa – Huge Rugby News

Racing 92 have issued a brief statement regarding second-row Leone Nakarawa following the forwards’ failure to arrive back at the club after his Rugby World Cup lay-off period.

Nakarawa, who played in all four of Fiji’s World Cup games, was expected to return to the club around the 28th of October according to reports. However, he is yet to return, with it understood that the French outfit did not agree to extend his leave and are not pleased. 

In a short statement the club confirmed they wanted an interview with Nakarawa before handing him any punishment. 

“Racing 92 have provisionally laid off Leone Nakarawa and summoned him to an interview prior to a possible sanction. The club will make no further comments about this decision,” a statement on the club website read.

The lock has been taken off the club roster ahead of their opening Champions Cup game against holders Saracens this weekend following the decision. 

It is believed that he has remained in Fiji to help build a house for his family, but did not clear up the situation with his employers beforehand. 

A tweet by Pacific Rugby Welfare last week stated that Racing knew where and what the lock was doing, but it appears as though that is not the case. 

Nakarawa is thought to be one of the highest earning players at the club and is regarded as one of the best players in his position on the planet, although we will now have to wait and see what he does next following this saga of events.
