South African Rugby says it will not tolerate acts of violence or racial abuse, but also has to trust its people to act responsibly and tell the truth.

These following accusations of physical and racial abuse levelled against Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth.

Etzebeth is a member of the Springbok squad and will remain one unless authorities ask SA Rugby to reconsider its decision.

It’s was reported on social media over the weekend that Etzebeth was involved in a scuffle in Langebaan on the West Coast and that a case of physical and racial abuse was opened.

Etzebeth vehemently denied being involved.

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus will name his 31-man World Cup squad at three o’clock this afternoon.
