Shortly after the tweet Ulster Head Coach Dan McFarland called it “totally unacceptable” and Ulster Rugby vowed to investigate “any complaints received” and asked fans to come forward with information.

The statement from the club reads:

“Following a robust investigation into allegations of abuse directed at Simon Zebo during the fixture versus Racing 92 on Saturday 12th January, Ulster Rugby has sanctioned a life-time ban on a spectator, for breaching our stadium regulations.”

“We would like to thank the many supporters who provided information to assist our investigation.”

“We are all very proud of our reputation as an inclusive club and the unacceptable behaviour of this one individual is not reflective of our supporters, or the values of our club.”

“We have issued a written apology to Simon Zebo and Racing 92.”

Zebo responded shortly after the announcement on Twitter with this

Thank you @UlsterRugby pic.twitter.com/YMORAIPCJI
