The 28-year-old claimed he was grabbed by the throat and left with a lower above his eye following an incident involving England ahead Jonny Hill of Sale Sharks following Tub’s Gallagher Premier League play-off win.
Hill is presently recovering from damage, having not performed since January, and watched the sport with Sale’s teaching workers in the principle stand on the Recreation Floor.
Because the 6ft 7in Hill left his seat after the ultimate whistle of a match that Sale misplaced 31-23 to descend the steps, he engaged the person.
A Tub fan, who didn’t wish to be named, advised reporters: “I used to be sitting there and he got here down the steps, grabbed me by the throat, broke my sun shades and lower the highest of my eye.
“He was telling me ‘do not ever try this once more.’
“Truthfully, all I need is new sun shades. I do not wish to do something.
“I used to be sitting with my associate and her entire household. This isn’t soccer.”
Sale launched an announcement confirming they’re investigating the allegations.
“Sale Sharks are conscious of an incident involving a Tub rugby participant and supporter on the closing whistle of tonight’s semi-final,” the membership stated in an announcement.
“The membership will probably be working with Tub Rugby to finish their investigation into the incident and won’t be making any additional remark presently.”
When requested concerning the incident at his post-match press convention, Sale director of rugby Alex Sanderson was unaware of the incident.
“That is information to me,” Sanderson stated. “Johnny is just not the aggressive kind and I’ll reply these questions once I discover out.
“I can vouch for Johnny’s character. He’s not an excessively aggressive indignant individual.’
