The Rugby Football Union has issued two-year Twickenham bans to two men accused of directing homophobic abuse at the referee Nigel Owens, the governing body has announced.

The RFU launched an investigation into allegations of offensive language used against Owens, who is openly gay, made by a spectator who attended England’s 24-21 defeat by New Zealand this month.

The two supporters are banned from attending all matches at Twickenham for two years and will also pay £1,000 each to a charity of Owens’ choice.
