The Munster and Irish winger Simon Zebo has went in hard on the individual at Benetton Rugby that thought it would be funny to give Italian prop at the club a rotten banana in the secret Santa presents.
Benetton have suspended a member of staff as a “precautionary measure” while investigations take place into the racial abuse of Cherif Traorè. The Italy prop Traorè revealed on social media that he was given a rotten banana in the club’s Secret Santa and that his teammates reacted to the present by laughing, making him feel “hurt”.

This really is sick, we’ve come on a long way and for things like this to be still happening in our game is completely wrong. There should be an example made of this so the world can see that rugby has a zero tolerance to racism
