Australian coach racially abused at China's National Games

In the latest embarrassment at China’s 12th National Games, an Australian coach working for team Jiangsu suffered racial slurs during a scuffle with an assistant in the Beijing women's rugby sevens team.

The Beijing team, reduced to five players after receiving two red cards, were trailing 22-0 when they staged a protest at the refereeing and stood motionless on the pitch.

A Beijing coach also demanded the Spanish referee be replaced, the reports said.

Shandong ran in try after try to win by an astonishing 71-0.

“But the referee did nothing wrong,” said the unnamed Australian coach from team Jiangsu, who allegedly lashed out at the Beijing assistant. ”What you did was not ethical,” he said.
