Simon Zebo: ‘I wouldn’t say racism is an issue in rugby’

Simon Zebo is happy that rugby does not have a racism problem, despite the abuse he suffered at the hands of a lone Ulster fan during a Champions Cup game at Kingspan Stadium earlier this month.

The Racing 92 star brought the incident to the public’s attention in a tweet following his side’s narrow Champions Cup loss in Belfast, and it resulted in the Irish province issuing a lifetime ban to one spectator and an apology to both Zebo and his club.
