The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) is to make an official complaint to gardaí in the coming days in relation to social media accounts based in Ireland linked to the racist abuse of Munster rugby's Edwin Edogbo.

Last month, the Cobh native made his international debut for Ireland against Italy in the Six Nations rugby clash in Dublin.
