Kerevi reveals sledge which triggered Tui melee

Samu Kerevi has revealed the sledge which triggered the ugly altercation between Lukhan Tui and an irate fan after the Wallabies' loss to Argentina.

Kerevi was in the crowd watching the angry fan hurl abuse and was part of the group of people who pulled his Reds teammate and the man apart.

The injured Wallabies star took to Instagram yesterday to share his side of the story writing that Lukhan Tui came in to help out because that guy was swearing around his family and that the altercation only happened because the drunk fan told Lukhan to 'play with some heart'.

Kerevi went on to write that the fact that Tui was even on the field speaks volumes.

Kerevi's defence comes as Wallabies coach Michael Cheika revealed yesterday a grieving Tui is "unlikely" to be on Australia's flight to South Africa on Saturday.

The 21‑year‑old's stepfather passed away on Wednesday and the Wallabies wore black armbands in remembrance.

Cheika confirmed the flanker was an unlikely starter in Port Elizabeth.

The Wallabies will take on the Springboks at 3.05am on the 30th of this month while the All Blacks will take on Argentina at 10.40am on the 30th of this month.
