- BBC rugby reporter was sent abuse after pitchside interviews
- RFU: ‘Abuse for doing your job is not OK. We stand with you’
The BBC and the Rugby Football Union have strongly condemned the online abuse suffered by the reporter Sonja McLaughlan following her pitchside interviews after Wales’s Six Nations victory over England on Saturday.
McLaughlan’s questioning of the England captain Owen Farrell and the head coach Eddie Jones – as well as their opposite numbers, Alun Wyn Jones and Wayne Pivac – shortly after full-time was followed by a series of abusive insults on social media.
