"We have taken this matter extremely seriously. Sadly, with any crime, there is a victim and as a club we want to acknowledge the impact on the young woman involved. Warriors stress that they were already working with Police Scotland to support and promote its male education campaign "Don't be that Guy" and that further workshops are planned in the coming weeks.
"There is no place in today's society for any form of abuse and his actions have impacted not only his club and rugby in Scotland but more importantly the life of his former partner, which is both sad and regrettable," he added.
