A powerful ball carrier blessed with blinding speed. Habosi burst onto the scene in 2022 with the Fijian Drua and has since grown into one of Fiji’s leading Wingers.
Vinaya Habosi got his tryscoring underway for the season, scoring in the 37th minute of Racing’s win over Perpignan.
It was a mixed performance overall from the Nadroga native. A modest 23 metre haul from 4 carries with 7 tackles defensively and 2 penalties conceded.

Peceli Yato was one of the best on the night topping the metres and carries in the game.
Racing move up a couple of spots into the top 6 while USAP drop down to 13th on the ladder.
After a disappointing loss to start their season, Racing bounced back with a big win and a big scalp too, taking down defending champions Bordeaux 44-32 despite receiving 2 red cards and a yellow throughout the match.
Nathan Hughes started at Number 8 again and like his debut, was impressive and heavily involved.
He scored yet another 5 pointer off the back of a rolling maul near the Bordeaux line.
Also impressive early was Wame Naituvi who made 2 linebreaks, a try assist and the most metres for his side with 65 despite his night ending after 20 minutes. He was replaced by Josua Tuisova who played the remainder of the game.
Lekima Tagitagivalu came off the bench in the 2nd half while Vinaya Habosi who was also solid started at Centre but moved to the wing when Tuisova entered.
