This is a pretty comprehensive document that might take a while to unpick...

https://resources.worldrugby-rims.pulse ... Report.pdf


there are some attention grabbing graphics.

The UK accounted for 31% of the total address located abusive accounts, France was close behind with 25%. England attracted the most abuse as a collective, closely followed by SA. The match officials came in 4th on this table. Wayne Barnes was the most targeted individual. 571 Players and 22 Match Officials attracted 51% and 49% of abuse, respectively. There's a breakdown of the type of abuse according to a range of categories and a few examples of the messages delivered.


It seems to be a pretty direct and open report that provides a solid platform for continuing to address the issue. Sobering reading.

Like I have said, the internet may yet turn out to be mankind's worst invention.
