Ross Moriarty slams abuse of 13-year-old cousin after 'grown men' scream in her face during rugby match

Wales star Ross Moriarty has slammed supporters who he claims screamed at his 13-year-old cousin during the Dragons' defeat to the Scarlets.

The Dragons back-row was at the heart of a controversial incident in the New Year's Day clash, with Moriarty being yellow carded for pulling Sione Kalamafoni's scrum cap off during a fracas. The Tongan received a red card as he threw a couple of punches back at Moriarty, and has since been banned for two weeks, with the disciplinary panel deciding that the "highly provocative and potentially dangerous actions by Dragons No 8" were a factor in the ban not being longer.

It would appear, during the match at Parc y Scarlets, that Moriarty's young cousin was subjected to abuse while trying to defend him.
