Former Wallaby Lopeti Timani fined $17,000 after bottle struck a French bouncer
Lopeti Timani (L), pictured playing for the Rebels in his final Super Rugby season in France, has been fined $17,000 for throwing a bottle that struck a bouncer after a nightclub brawl in France.

Lopeti Timani – the former Wallaby once assaulted by a teammate in Dunedin – has been fined $17,000 after hurling a bottle that struck a French nightclub bouncer in the face.

The 29-year-old backrower was charged after a brawl in The White Rabbit nightclub in La Rochelle in south-west France where he plays for the La Rochelle club, captained by former All Black Victor Vito.

French news outlets reported that Timani had been fined €10,000 ($NZ17,650) this week by the Rochelle Criminal Court.

Timani was booted out of the nightclub after a 4.30am brawl on May 12, 2019.
