'People need to be fair, supportive and respectful'

Ugo Monye discusses how Premiership rugby players may show support for the Black Lives Matter movement when the season resumes.

The former British & Irish Lions winger said: "There will be people that take the knee that will get scrutinised and will have negativity whether it's print media, broadcast media or on social media.

"There will be people that don't take the knee that will have the same levelled at them and that's just not fair."

The season has been suspended since March because of the coronavirus pandemic and restarts this Friday, with Harlequins hosting Sale Sharks.
