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».
