Junior Nsemba: Wigan and England forward arrested after being racially abused following Magic weekend win

Wigan won by just two points in a dramatic match against their long-time rivals after St Helens scrum-half Jackson Hastings missed a kick to tie the game after playing the final hooter.

Earlier this week, the Warriors said they were “alarmed” by the comments and “condemned them in the strongest possible terms”.

“No person should be subjected to racist abuse, whether online, in person or in any other setting,” the club added.

“Racism must be called out, condemned and eradicated.”

Wigan head coach Matt Peat said: “We have to take care of it and make sure it doesn’t get brushed under the carpet, which I’m sure it won’t.”
