Ospreys winger Luke Morgan has become public enemy No 1 with South African rugby fans, after injuring Sharks player Ethan Hooker.
The Welsh side defeated their URC rivals on the weekend, but Hooker did manage to dot down with an impressive solo try.
However, in the process of scoring, Morgan dived on his back, thus injuring his shoulder and making him a doubt for South Africa's games against New Zealand in August.
On the incident, Sharks head coach JP Pietersen said: “After scoring a try, the rules say you are not supposed to dive on a player, and rules are there to protect players and sadly that did not happen,” he said.
“He dislocated his shoulder. He is a massive presence for us and to lose him after the first half was very disappointing and frustrating.”
On Morgan's Instagram, one fan wrote: “You should be banned for as long as Ethan Hooker is out. Scumbag."
To which Morgan replied: “And you should go bore someone else with a silly little comment like that.”
Replying to another fan in a now-deleted post, Morgan added: “He clearly hasn’t scored until the ball is grounded, therefore because the ball wasn’t grounded means the ball is still in play and I am fully legal to make that tackle so you might want to think again about that one.”
