Pressure mounts on Exeter Chiefs to move with the times

Officials at Wasps have now approached Premiership Rugby, the RFU, and the RFU’s newly formed Diversity and Inclusion working group to ask that the issue of Exeter's 'cultural appropriation' is formally addressed.

English Premiership giants, Wasps, have vowed to "discourage supporters" from wearing faux Native American headdresses and other cultural signifiers at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Wasps issued a lengthy statement this afternoon ahead of their home game against the Exeter Chiefs, however, officials have stopped short of banning any visiting fans in such attire from the stadium.
