Former Lions coach Johan Ackermann and his son, Ruan, have been accused of beating up a man in a Cheltenham nightclub last Sunday.


Johan Ackermann left the Lions at the end of the 2017 Super Rugby season to take up his new post as head coach of Gloucester, and shortly after the move his son Ruan joined him at the English club. 

The incident in question, which happened after Gloucester's 69-12 win over Italian club Zebre, prompted local police to release the following statement:


"Gloucestershire Constabulary is investigating a report of an incident which happened at the 21 Club in Regent Street, Cheltenham, in the early hours of Sunday morning – December 17. 

"The allegation is that there was an altercation between two groups of men, during which one of the men sustained facial injuries.

"The incident was reported just before 1.30am. Police officers arrived shortly afterwards but all those involved had left the scene. Investigating officers will be examining CCTV footage this week and speaking to witnesses. No-one has been arrested."


The Ackermanns, meanwhile, were linked to the incident via social media. 

Christina Woods claimed on Facebook that she knew the person who had allegedly been beaten up. She posted pictures of the man with his injuries and then accused Johan and Ruan of attacking him.


"This is a heartbreaking. This lad is my good friends brother, he has autism and was attacked unprovoked!!! This has now left him with a possible bleed on the brain. The scum who did this were 2 "men" who are supposed to be upstanding members of society.. but have now shown they are nothing more than oxygen wasting thugs. They are Ruan ackermann and his father johan ackermann. Police, media, everything possible is being done to get these 2 morona off the thrones they think they sit on, you are NOT above the law. Please share this as far as you can so we can get #justiceforharry !!!!! #autism #attack #unprovoked #ruanackermann #johanackermann #gloucesterrugby," the post read.


England's Daily Mail was reporting on the incident, saying that Gloucester were aware of the situation but that they were not prepared to comment as yet.

Some very serious allegations- but we do not know the full story yet. An investigation is underway- as perhaps the more details will shed light on what has happened. 
Rugby players like martial arts experts are probably best to leave the fighting to other people. Anyone that eats and trains all day is going to be stronger than the average person- which makes fighting more of a bullying exercise.
Worst case scenario the Ackermans could end up in jail. Johan already has a criminal record for steroid abuse.

Was someone punched in the throat through?

Dunno if you guys know, but I have it on good authority that it's a highly effective move. Please use this sensative information with the respect it deserves.

As you know Mr Plum that move is to be used only in the event the victim turns around after being stabbed and or shot in the back.

It sounds disastrous, but it also sounds implausible. There has to be another side to this story or some kind of massive misunderstanding. As for your comment Ka Mate I’m tempted to say it says more about your nation than ours’. But actually it mostly says more about you.

Lloyd Burnard Cape Town - Gloucester Rugby have jumped to the defence of coach Johan Ackermann and his son Ruan Ackermann following allegations that the pair attacked an English man in a Cheltenham nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning. Harry Allen (24) had told Sport24 in detail on Monday how he was the victim of a beating from both Johan and Ruan, but Gloucester have since released a statement saying that they stand by the former Lions duo. "Gloucester Rugby takes any allegations extremely seriously and we have conducted a full investigation in to this matter," club CEO Stephen Vaughan said. "Having spoken to Johan, Ruan, the club where the alleged incident took place, the police and other independent witnesses as well as viewing subsequent CCTV footage, I am completely satisfied that whilst an incident did take place, it was instigated by others and not by Johan and Ruan as has been incorrectly reported. "Both Johan and Ruan have been upset and disappointed by the allegations, but do appreciate the support from Gloucester Rugby fans, players, colleagues, friends and family." Allen claimed that he would be pressing charges against the Ackermanns, while English police confirmed that they were investigating the incident. Johan Ackermann coached the Lions to back-to-back Super Rugby finals in 2016 and 2017 before taking the Gloucester job following the completion of this year's tournament. Ruan Ackermann, meanwhile, has impressed since joining his father at Gloucester and was named English Premiership Player of the Month for November.

So as predicted there’s the other side....viewing of CCTV footage sounds pretty despositive. I wonder if the scumbag Ka Mate has the guts to apologize.

En daar vang slim sy baas.

Typical cocky poms in a pub trying to prove themselves and getting owned in the process. 

Then running to mommy to tell her all about how the big boys are bullies.

They should release the footage to shame the tossers.

Yeah, I doubt we'll see Ka Mate on this thread again. 

Because we know that those who call others cowards ars generally experts at that very practice.

Yep, this site affords a chance for rugger buggers to enjoy a bit of light hearted banter. But unfortunately you always have agenda posters......you know who you are chaps. Is it making you happier?
