Nakarawa sacked by Racing 92

France based rugby team, Racing 92 has decided to break the contract of Flying Fijians lock Leone Nakarawa.

In a statement, the club says after a few days of reflection added to the legal deadlines in force, Jacky Lorenzetti, President of Racing 92 decided to break the contract of Léone Nakarawa.

Racing 92 says this decision, taken in consultation with the sporting director of the club, follows the proven disciplinary deficiencies by Nakarawa who, in particular, did not show up for the resumption of training scheduled on October 28, 2019.

The statement says Nakarawa also refused to answer the messages that the club sent him after noting his unjustified absence and simply set his own date of return, the 9th and 12th November.

It says Nakarawa's abandonment of post for more than two weeks has caused great prejudice to Racing 92, a prejudice that Nakarawa does not ignore.

Racing 92 says this is not the first time the Club accuses him of abandoning his post.

The club says this is, moreover, a deplorable example for Racing 92 players while his title of the best player of the 2018 European Cup should have encouraged him to be exemplary.

The statement further says at Racing, the only star is the team and the individualistic attitude of Nakarawa is inconceivable.

It says Nakarawa's attitude denotes a total lack of team spirit and marked insubordination.

The club says to preserve the Racing 92 institution, this decision of rupture was essential.
