Crusaders to investigate claims of homophobic slurs by players in Cape Town

Crusaders Chief Executive Colin Mansbridge has announced that an investigation will be held into claims that several of his Crusaders players made homophobic slurs in Cape Town on Sunday.

TVNZ reports the allegations came to light after the Crusaders visited a McDonald's following their 19‑19 draw against the Stormers over the weekend.

A fresh allegation surfaced today with Radio NZ reporting that a Cape Town woman alleged that Crusaders player Richie Mo'unga spat beer at her and her friends before inappropriately touching her at a bar on May 11.

Mansbridge said he had spoken with the players and team management about the alleged claims.

George Bridge is alleged to be at the centre of one incident in South Africa.
