Sale Sharks accepts the verdict of the independent disciplinary committee and the ban handed out to hooker Nathan Jibulu relating to an incident during our Investec Champions Cup last 16 fixture against Harlequins on Saturday evening.
Nathan admitted to the offence and both the club and player agree that his actions were unacceptable. We are united in our belief that our players should always act as role models and that such behaviour has no place on a rugby pitch or in society.
The club will be conducting its own internal disciplinary process but we will continue to fully support Nathan through what has been, and will be, a difficult period.
The club will be making no further comment on the matter.
