Carter's return to French club on hold due to fitness

Dan Carter's return to French rugby and old club Racing 92 has come to a grinding halt after failing a fitness test.

The former All Black's return was announced by the Top 14 club last month after he was granted a release by his Japanese club, Kobelco Steelers, to replace recently retired South African Pat Lambie.

But the French club announced this morning Carter's return has been cancelled. Racing 92 didn't reveal the exact reason for Carter's failure.

Carter won the World Cup twice with New Zealand in 2011 and 2015 in a 112‑Test career spanning 12 years. He went on to become the game's top international scorer with 1598 points.
