On Monday, the IRFU confirmed the “cowardly” comments are subject to an investigation and Clarke reiterated the IRFU’s stance that “rugby is a welcome space for everyone”.<\/p>\n
“There is no place for racism in our sport, in any sport or even society. When things like this happen, it makes you bond and step back to look at everything you can do.<\/p>\n
“In Munster, Edwin has been playing for them and they haven’t experienced anything like it up until now either, so it seems to have been magnified with that step up to international level.<\/p>\n
“It has no place at any club, province or international level, so we will do all we can to eradicate it and support the players, match officials and staff.”<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old second row has made 24 appearances for Munster and has registered 30 points.<\/p>\n
After that nervy victory on Saturday, Ireland head coach Andy Farrell praised the debutant’s contribution in his post-match news conference.<\/p>\n
“Well, we need to celebrate Edwin’s first cap, that is for sure as it is one amazing story,” Farrell said.<\/p>\n
“I am so pleased we were able to get a win and show some fight to get a win for him because his story is a phenomenal one so we will celebrate that with him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
