Rugby Union: Montpellier’s Fijian utility back Timoci Nagusa has claimed he was racially abused by a Pau fan during a French Top 14 game on Saturday. The incident occurred in the first half when he picked up a yellow card, Nagusa told French rugby weekly Midi Olympique yesterday. “I saw this man in the crowd. He was doing terrible gestures... like a monkey... at the beginning, I did not pay attention but he continued,” Nagusa said. “I was about 10 metres from him and when I went towards him, I was wondering if I was going to jump on him and punch him but I changed my mind. I’m better than that.” Nagusa said he would not file charges, explaining that he did not want to “do anything that could ruin this man’s life”.

Horse Racing: Hurricane Fly, one of the greatest hurdlers in the history of jumps racing, has been retired. Time has been called on the career of the record-breaking 11-year-old, who won an astonishing 22 Grade One races. The son of Montjeu won 24 of his 32 races over hurdles, including the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2011 and 2013. He earned connections nearly £1.9 million in prize-money and had his final career start in the French Champion Hurdle at Auteuil in June, when he could only finish sixth.
