Racing 92 star arrested over assault of partner as she held child
By Ian Cameron
Racing 92 and Fiji wing Vinaya Habosi has been taken into police custody in France following allegations of domestic violence.
Reports from France state that Habosi is accused of physically assaulting his partner in an incident that reportedly occurred while she was holding their baby.
Habosi allegedly pushed his partner - causing both her and the baby to fall. The situation is alleged to have escalated further when he then punched her in the back of the head.
The club statement reads: "Racing 92 has taken note of the facts alleged against its player Vinaya Habosi. Pending further information from the competent authorities, Racing 92 will refrain from any further comment."
If found guilty it is likely that his contract with Stuart Lancaster's Parisian side will be terminated.
Habosi made his international debut for Fiji in 2022. He previously played for Fijian Drua in Super Rugby Pacific, where he gained recognition as one of the standout performers. He joined Racing 92 in the Top 14 league in 2023.
At the international level, he has earned several caps for Fiji to date and featured during the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Hopefully Joe stays where he is. That would mean Les, McKellar, larkham and Cron should as well. It’s the stability we need in the state programs. But, if Joe goes, RA with its current financial situation will be forced into promoting from within. And this will likely destabilise other areas.
To better understand some of the entrenched bitterness of those outside of NZ and NSW (as an example 😂), Nic, there is probably a comparison to the old hard heads of welsh rugby who are still stuck in the 1970s. Before the days where clubs merged, professionalism started, and the many sharp knives were put into the backs of those who loved the game more than everyone else. I’m sure you know a few... But given your comparison of rugby in both wales and Australia, there are a few north of the tweed that will never trust a kiwi or NSWelshman because of historical events and issues over the history of the game. It is what it is. For some, time does not heal all wounds. And it is still festering away in some people. Happy holidays to you. All the best in 2025.
