Sydney - Campaigners against homophobia in sport have welcomed the heavy fine levied against Waratahs forward Jacques Potgieter for calling Brumbies players "faggots" in a Super Rugby match at the weekend.
South African loose forward Potgieter apologised for what he said had been an "offhand" remark made "during a heated encounter" after he was fined A$20 000, half suspended, by the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) on Monday.
Potgieter was also ordered to "undergo additional educational and awareness training" for the breach of the ARU inclusion policy, which took place at the Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday.
