England captain Jamie George says team may leave pitch if racially abused in Argentina

England rugby captain Jamie George has confirmed that his team is prepared to walk off the pitch if they are subjected to racist abuse during their upcoming tour of Argentina. Speaking ahead of the matches, George said the players have discussed the issue and are united in their response. The statement puts pressure on Argentine rugby authorities to ensure robust anti-racism measures are in place. It also reflects a broader trend in sport where players are increasingly taking a stand against discrimination. England’s squad is set to face Argentina in a two-test series later this month.
