Former Black Rhinos Number 8 Nathan Hughes is in the sights of Top 14 club Racing 92. The Parisian club is still reeling from a poor 2025 season which saw them finish 10th and at times during the season in real danger of relegation.
Racing already boast a host of Fijians including Josua Tuisova, Vinaya Habosi, Wame Naituvi and the incoming Selestino Ravutaumada.
Hughes made a successful return from injury, his first performance of the season off the bench in the 50th minute for Urayasu against Toshiba Brave Lupus. The D-Rocks were outclassed to the tune of 61-19 and face a tough road trip to face the in-form Blue Revs.
