Disgusting.
Nemani Nadolo is one of the most devastating and talented wingers in world rugby today. At 6ft 4in and over 135kg, he’s an absolute human wrecking ball, reminiscent of the late, great Jonah Lomu.
Not only that, but he’s a genuine nice guy, and and all-round top human being. But unfortunately for the Fijian he managed to bump into a supporter recently who can only be described as “scum.”
While out with his family, who flew to France to visit him, Nadolo was racially abused by a supporter who said to him “not bad for a monkey to win the game for MHR in Clermont”, referring to Nadolo’s last minute try to win the game for Montpellier last weekend.
Don’t no how to take it cause I don’t speak French.. I’m out in Montpellier with my family who came from overseas to c me. 1 supporter who is drunk said to me “ not bad for a monkey to win the game for MHR in Clermont”. Now he was drunk but wow . #really

To hear this kind of abuse in this day and age is quite simply disgusting, and disappointing to be honest. Some people are simply gutless, and for a sport that prides itself on respect and inclusion, it pains us to call him a rugby supporter.
Nadolo says racism in rugby is “still the same”, perhaps suggesting this isn’t the first time the Fijian has suffered from it. What amazes us more than anything though, is Nadolo’s patience.
FUCK IM OVER RACISM.. the worst thing is they attack you when u out having a good time with your family!. . Only problem is they are gutless. I thank the lord for patience… FUCK!!

That disgusting racist should be thanking the stars that Nadolo is a gentle giant, and was able to rise above him. Otherwise he’d probably be eating through a straw right now, and probably deserves to be.
