Gloucester identify bottle-thrower

Gloucester have identified the individual that threw a plastic bottle towards referee Tim Wigglesworth during Saturday's Aviva Premiership clash with Bath at Kingsholm.

Gloucester announced the findings of an internal investigation into the incident following a fiery derby that ended with the home side down to 11 men.

Two of their players were sent off and two were in the sin-bin when Bath clinched a last-gasp 18-17 win.

After examining CCTV footage, it was clear that the bottle came from a group of teenage boys on an escorted rugby tour.

"The individuals were on a day out, which included watching the game, and were accompanied by their schoolteachers," a club statement read.

"The individual concerned has admitted to the act and is extremely remorseful about his actions.

"Gloucester are liaising with the club and individual with regards to appropriate action being taken.

"Gloucester Rugby would like to stress that the individual involved is neither a member nor regular supporter of the club."
