World Rugby said it worked with the Argentine Rugby Federation to develop an action plan to improve your business, to train fans and prevent further incidents.
Despite the implementation of an “immediate and thorough examination”, which included testimonies and video analyzes, the World Rugby management committee was unable to identify the responsible persons.
“There is no place in rugby or in the society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and a complaint about discrimination is taken extremely seriously,” says a rugby declaration in the world.
“Although it is clear that an incident has taken place, we regret that the people responsible could not be identified.”

Gabriel Travaglini, President of the Union Argentina de Rugby, condemned abuse.
“After learning the incidents, intensive efforts were made to identify the small group of five or seven people who are responsible for over 20,000 spectators,” he said.
“Unfortunately, despite a comprehensive search, it was not possible to identify the perpetrators.
“We will continue to work together with World Rugby to educate the fans and eradicate similar manifestations in the future to ensure that our events are spaces of respect and inclusion for everyone.”
