- Wasps say headdresses can ‘cause offence’
- Clubs meet in Coventry on Saturday
Wasps have asked Premiership Rugby and the Rugby Football Union to consider imposing a nationwide ban on the wearing of Native American headdresses by fans of Exeter Chiefs, arguing that visiting supporters who do so when the sides meet in Coventry on Saturday will potentially “cause offence”.
While Wasps have stopped short, for now, of imposing an immediate ban they have called on the authorities to “formally address” the issue across the entire league.
