Saracens' consider making an official complaint over “horrible” insult aimed at Jamie George

Saracens are considering whether to make an official complaint after hooker Jamie George was the target of a “horrible” insult against Munster at Allianz Park on Saturday.

Mark McCall confirmed that George was the victim of a verbal assault by Dr Jamie Kearns, the Irish province’s chief medic. The exchange led to a mass fight that spilt over the sidelines.

Saracens assistant coach Alex Sanderson alleged that Dr Kearns “said something derogatory to Jamie George about his weight” as the second quarter was coming to a close, and McCall condemned the visitors’ medic.

“Clearly this shouldn’t happen, we all know that. I don’t think what was said to Jamie was good at all. It started a 30-man brawl,” McCall said after their 15-6 win.


 
“Owen Farrell got penalised for running into the melee but from what I saw 29 other people ran into it!

“It was a strange penalty to give and it was instigated by a member of their staff who said something horrible to one of our players.

“Something pretty bad was said at Jamie. He wouldn’t have reacted the way he reacted otherwise. We’ll take our time to decide whether we do anything.”
