Swansea University is aware of an incident that occurred during last night’s Men’s BUCS Super Rugby fixture between Swansea University and Cardiff University.
We stress in the strongest possible terms that behaviour of this nature is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of Swansea University nor our Students’ Union.
We recognise the concern and distress that this incident may have caused, and apologise for its impact on those involved, including Cardiff University, the players, match officials and local rugby communities, along with our wider community.
Swansea University and the Students’ Union are working together to investigate the matter thoroughly and fairly. We are also actively cooperating with British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS), the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and the Student Rugby Club to ensure all relevant information is considered.
Respect, inclusion and integrity are fundamental to our sporting programmes. Where these standards are found to have been breached, we are committed to taking appropriate action.
