Waratahs forward fined

THE Australian Rugby Union has fined Jacques Potgieter 20,000 Australian dollars (US$15,600) after the New South Wales Waratahs forward made an anti-gay slur during a Super Rugby match against the ACT Brumbies on Sunday. The ARU issued a statement yesterday saying the Sydney-based South African admitted making “comments contrary to the Australian Rugby Union’s Inclusion Policy”. ACT forward David Pocock, a vocal advocate of same-sex marriage, complained to referee Craig Joubert about the slurs during the match.
