Jamie George criticises Saracens team-mate Totoa Auvaa's 'unacceptable' behaviour in nightclub incident involving England cricketers

Jamie George has criticised his Saracens team-mate Totoa Auvaa's "unacceptable" behaviour during the nightclub incident which led to cricketers Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson being dropped by England but insisted he was "a good kid".

England international George described the 21-year-old Samoan back-row as "a rabbit in the headlights in London" and said the academy player "doesn't know right from wrong".

Auvaa avoided formal sanctions over what took place at the Rex Rooms in Chelsea in the early hours of June 8, with Saracens calling the events "regrettable for all parties involved" and saying they remained "supportive" of their player.

Auvaa threw a punch at Atkinson, which missed and struck an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) security guard.

The security guard required stitches but opted not to report the matter to the police.
