International rugby star sent home after racist video goes viral, it's 'scandalous'

The full-back’s rant included a threat to assault “the first Arab I come across on the road,” sparking outrage and condemnation from all corners.

In the now-viral clip, Jaminet brazenly states, “My mother asks me if I partied… I swear to you, the first Arab I come across on the road, I’ll hit him with my helmet. I’ll hit him with my helmet. I’m telling you: I’ll hit him with my helmet. A hit with my helmet, I’ll hit him.”

The scandalous video was recorded by French politician Sébastien Delogu, who swiftly denounced the remarks as “scandalous.”

The French Rugby Federation (FFR) wasted no time in condemning Jaminet’s comments “in the strongest terms,” declaring that “such comments are totally unacceptable and contrary to the fundamental values of our sport.”

Jaminet has been sent home while an investigation is launched into his “extremely serious remarks,” the FFR confirmed.

“The FFR reaffirms its unwavering commitment to diversity, inclusion, and secularism. Rugby is a sport that brings people together and unites, and we must promote these essential values.

"No discriminatory behavior, of any nature whatsoever, has a place in French rugby,” the statement concluded.

Rugby Pass 2/10: "A bit of a shocker sadly. Showed inexperience with an overcooked kick to space early on which landed squarely in touch. Missed five tackles in total and simply walked into touch when receiving the ball near the Wallaby touchline. Not a day to remember."

Wales Online 5/10: "Put one kick out on the full while his loose punt up-field also resulted in Tom Wright scoring the decisive try for the Wallabies. Showed signs of his threat with ball in hand but it didn't come his way often enough."

Rugby Pass 5/10: "Inexcusable miss in front of the posts early in the second half, but bounced back immediately with some passes timed to absolute perfection as England scored their second. After being penned back in the first half due to New Zealand’s territorial supremacy, he was able to express himself much more after the break as England gained more control. Unfortunately, two kicks from five are the statistics that can define Test matches though, and that might well have been the case in Dunedin"

Telegraph 6/10: "Missed two sitters off the tee which England had to take. Didn’t love the grubber when England were attacking well but two slick passes before Feyi-Waboso’s score. Bottom line, the missed points were critical. "

Planet Rugby 6/10: " Ultimately, those kicks were costly, while there was one errant decision in attack, but he still brought plenty to the game. Option-taking was good and he was absolutely central to Feyi-Waboso’s score. A mixed di

Rugby Pass 5/10: "Decision making in his own half cost his team hugely. While he was excellent with the offload that created Osborne’s try, majestic in finishing his own breakaway score which was cruelly ruled out by TMO and also in giving Baird his assist, he paid a very heavy price defensively for keeping a Pollard touchfinder in play as Kolbe scored. Then made the desperate choice of playing another Pollard kick from the in-goal area, costing the scrum that resulted in a penalty try"

BALLS 5/10: "He might not do the defence part of the game but when he’s on the ball he is incredible. Unlucky not to score in the 2nd half (his finish was incredible too!!).  Incredible skill to stay infield for the Osborne try.  But….. some really poor moments in defence and I won’t want to see the 2nd South African try again or the restart that led to South Africa’s 3rd try."

JOE 4/10: "Lost his battle against Cheslin Kolbe, falling off a couple of tackles against the quick-stepping wideman. He did produce the best moment of the match, doing unbelievably well to stay in touch and offload the ball to Jamie Osbourne for his first international try. 

"But then ruined any credit he had in the bank by doing the very same to set up a Kolbe try in the last quarter. And made matters worse by making a meal of a late South Africa kick-off which resulted in a penalty try."

Rugby Pass 3/10: "He was dominated at scrum time and looked out of his depth against a powerful Wallaby forward pack. Would have been relieved to exit the field shortly into the second half. Off at 41."

Wales Online 5/10: "Came under pressure at the scrum and was sent to the sin bin midway through the second half. Left the field injured after 42 minutes"

Planet Rugby 4/10: "Was sent to the sin-bin early doors, but luckily for him his team stepped up in his absence. Was also bested in the scrum on multiple occasions, as he was against South Africa."

Rugby Pass 5.5/10: "Missed a tackle anyone associated with England would have expected him to make on Perofeta in Ardie Savea’s try. One very costly error, but that’s all it takes at this level. England’s go-to man to crash into defenders in an epic battle with his counterpart Savea."

Telegraph 5/10: "Nice offload combining with Mitchell but given the slip by Perofeta and that missed tackle led to Savea’s score. Not his best though with a couple of soft mistakes."
