The Irish club announced that the fan in question was now banned from the stadium.

While Aviron Bayonnais obtained a historic draw on Saturday evening against Munster, the meeting was also marked by an event that arose on the sidelines of the confrontation.

At the start of the second half, tempers heated up between the players of the two teams. Close to the field, an Irish supporter took the opportunity to grab the Georgian Konstantin Mikautadze behind the back. If the scene stopped there, the club reacted firmly this Monday.

«Munster Rugby can confirm a decision has been taken to ban the fan involved in an incident at Thomond Park on Saturday from taking part in Munster home matches».

The double European champion club, respectful to the end, indicated that it “would soon contact Aviron Bayonnais and ECPR to apologize after the incident».
