There are a heap of Islanders and Indigenous Australians playing rugby and these men and women are generally outstanding players and highly respected in the sport of Rugby in Australia, they are certainly not men and women to trifle with or racially insult. As such and in my experience, the white guy, if he’s a Australian coach, wouldn’t dare/consider using an Americanism like Nigger, or any antipodal equivalent.

From the photo it appears the Chinese dude gobbed off, called what appears to be the indigenous Australian coach(a then angry indigenous Australian coach), a nigger and the Australian quite understandably proceeded to have a quiet word in Chinese assistant’s ear about racial insults. So the SCMP article certainly fits here:

“the unnamed Australian coach from team Jiangsu, who allegedly lashed out at the Beijing assistant. ”What you did was not ethical,” he said.

This infuriated the Beijing staffer, who shouted back: “It’s none of your business, N*****.”

If the Australian is trying to restrain him, it’s certainly an unusual way to do it.

‘presumably the white guy in this vid seen unwelcomely hugging a crying BJ player.’

I didn’t think it looked as such, although not really appropriate.

“with the men dragging the women down for a change. You can see many BJ girls not wanting to stop, and at all levels Chinese female rugby players’ commitment and ability offers hope for the sport here.”

Agreed and I’m glad rugby is being played here. It’s a fantastic game and takes a lot of courage and skill to play. I hope the Chinese women that have taken up the sport do well in the future.
