Six Nations rugby: Cohen gets death threats

England wing Ben Cohen has revealed that he received death threats ahead of Saturday’s opening Six Nations clash with Wales in Cardiff.

Cohen, who has handed the letters to the police, said: ‘‘I got five or six abusive letters and some of them contained death threats. They all had a south Wales postmark and may have been sent by the same person.’’

He added: ‘‘A death threat is not nice but I’m not going to let it affect my performance.’’
