Scarlets have revealed that they are going to investigate claims that fans were racist towards La Rochelle players, according to a report on the Pundit Arena.
Allegations were made against Scarlets fans for making monkey noises towards La Rochelle players during their Champions Cup quarter-final clash last week.
The Scarlets came out on top of the encounter and reached their first Champions cup semi-final in 11 years.
The club will now investigate the claims of racism towards the players, which was reported by some fans on social media following the victory.
The Scarlets will face Champions cup favourites Leinster in the semi-final and know that they face a very difficult challenge against the undefeated side, who are aiming for a Grand Slam win.
Scarlets said in a statement:
An investigation will be undertaken to understand the full facts and background of the incident before commenting further.
We have a proud history of being a family club and events such as this are completely unacceptable.
The stewards who were present at the match are understood to have been aware of the racism being hurled at the players during the first half, however, it continued into the second half until the match finished.
More details are expected to be announced at a later date by the club.
