Video also emerged of another fan berating England coach Eddie Jones.
Aussie Jones was branded a “traitor” which led to a confrontation.
Jones responded: “What did you say? What did you say? Come here and say it. Come here and say it. Come here and say it.”
The England coach then walked away.

Rugby Australia’s statement added: “The offensive remarks made by spectators … towards England staff were unacceptable – and not representative of the values of rugby.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behaviour, and we are working with Venues NSW on appropriate sanctions for these individuals.”
