Welsh Players To Wear Rainbow Laces in Support Of Gareth Thomas

Welsh players will wear rainbow laces in support of former captain Gareth Thomas when they take on South Africa on Saturday after he was the victim of a homophobic assault.

Police dealt with a 16-year-old boy using restorative justice following a request by Thomas, who wanted to send a «positive message».

Welsh rugby will once again back Stonewall Cymru‘s Rainbow Laces campaign over the next two weeks with the community game, each of the four regional sides and the national men’s and women’s teams all endorsing its key messages of inclusion and support.
