RUGBY:LEINSTER will not be taking any disciplinary action against any of their players after completing an internal investigation into allegations of racism which were made by Northampton prop Brian Mujati after Friday night's game between the two teams, stating that "there was an exchange during the match between two Leinster players which was misinterpreted".

Mujati had tweeted on Saturday that Leinster’s prop Heinke van der Meuwe and his fellow South African secondrow Steven Sykes “were calling me a baboon during the scrums last night. Racism is still alive and things don’t change.”

Leinster’s statement concluded: “It was regrettable that any offence was caused. Both clubs have agreed that the matter is now closed . . .”

The Minster of State for Tourism and Sport Michael Ring has awarded a special grant of €424,000 to enable Connacht Rugby to finish vital refurbishment works at its Galway Stadium and bring it up to Heineken Cup standard.
