Captain Jamie George says England are considering the prospect of walking off the pitch should any of their players suffer racial abuse against Argentina. Jamie George has threatened to lead his England team off the pitch against the Pumas on Saturday if there is a recurrence of the racial abuse that marred their last appearance in Argentina. Jamie George promises ‘the strongest of reactions’England players were racially abused by fans last yearEngland’s rugby players are threatening to walk off the pitch in protest against Argentina on Saturday if there is any repeat of the racial abuse aimed at black squad members on their last visit a year ago.
Further incidents will not be tolerated and, according to England’s captain, Jamie George, will prompt “the strongest of reactions”.George was also present in San Juan last July when his replacement prop forward Asher Opoku-Fordjour and Chandler Cunningham-South were the target of racist slurs from a group of home supporters during the warm-up and the first half of the second Test. World Rugby later confirmed England had made a complaint, but, despite an investigation, the individual perpetrators could not be identified.
