World Rugby 'regrets' that racist abusers of England stars in Argentina cannot be identified after Asher Opoku-Fordjour and Chandler Cunningham-South were targeted by fans
England reported the incidents to the game's governing body last week and a 'thorough investigation' took place – one which included player evidence.
Mail Sport understands forwards Opoku-Fordjour and Cunningham-South were targeted by Argentinian fans while they warmed up behind the posts as replacements during the match.
On Monday, World Rugby said in a statement: 'While it is clear an incident took place, we regret the individuals responsible could not be identified.'
As such, no arrests or specific punishments have been handed out.
In response, Argentina has 'developed an action plan to enhance their operations, educate fans and better prevent such unacceptable incidents from occurring again.'
It is understood it has been impossible to identify which fans were responsible for the racism because the stadium in San Juan had unrestricted seating, thus allowing supporters to roam freely within the arena.
RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney said: 'There is absolutely no place for racism in our sport and these incidents must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
'Every player, regardless of their background, has the right to represent their country with pride and dignity, free from discrimination and abuse. We are in close contact with the players affected and have offered them our full support.
'We're pleased World Rugby was able to act swiftly to investigate and thank Argentina for their full co-operation and support. We trust they will take the necessary steps to prevent any recurrence of such unacceptable behaviour.'
Without 13 of their key players who were selected for the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, England had a fine summer – winning 2-0 in Argentina and beating the USA.
Gabriel Travaglini, president of Argentina Rugby, stated: 'We strongly condemn all acts of racism and stand in solidarity with the England players who felt aggrieved.
'Upon learning of the incidents, intense efforts were made to identify the small group of five or seven individuals responsible within a crowd of over 20,000 spectators.
'Unfortunately, despite an exhaustive search, it was not possible to identify the perpetrators. We will continue to work with World Rugby to educate fans and eradicate any similar manifestations in the future, ensuring our events are spaces of respect and inclusion for everyone.'

Rockcliff Rugby Club left the ball in a toy bin at Longsands Beach to encourage more people to play the of the club's young players, Benjamin and Alexander, placed the ball in the bin on 15 June and in just over a month it had travelled hundreds of miles across the North was found by Bernd Terbeek and his son, who spotted it floating in the water when they went fishing. Mr Terbeek then emailed the club to tell them of his family's discovery and said they planned to use it to play rugby later that day."My son Hauke saw it drifting in the waves and I picked it up," he said."Later on we checked for Whitley Bay Rockcliff and the rugby club and were surprised about the distance the ball had managed to drift across the North Sea, from the British to the Danish coast."Mr Terbeek said his family planned to keep the ball as a memento and would continue to check on the club's activities in the future. Rockcliffe Rugby Club has about 650 players, including its adult teams, youth teams, and walking rugby teams for senior Mr Sugden said the club's main ambition was to continue to get more people involved in the sport."You need teams to play against and you constantly need people who just enjoy the sport, whether that be touch rugby or playing rugby," he said."We are always happy to welcome new players or even just people who want to enjoy the atmosphere of rugby club and the game."

Women's Rugby World Cup will change the sport, says Hunter
England will play host to the biggest Women's Rugby World Cup ever seen when it gets underway in Sunderland on 22 August. Ticket sales have already broken records, but Hunter believes the impact goes past just the game in England. 'It is global. Because we are in England, we think about what can the growth be like here, but I genuinely think this could be a moment in time for the women's game worldwide,' Hunter said. 'What it can do to create that lasting legacy that really puts women's rugby on the map. 'If you look at where all the countries are coming from, you have South America, Brazil coming to their first World Cup, you've got Samoa returning for the first time in 11 years. 'All these wonderful nations, including Canada and the USA which in the men's game you might not think they are traditional rugby countries. 'I think that is what is so good about the women's game is that actually, it gets into places that maybe it hasn't been thought they play rugby. 'The eyes of the world will be on this tournament and if that is in countries that don't normally have rugby then that is a window where they can create their own legacy in their own right. 'Whether that is playing, whether that is fanbase, whatever that might be, I just think we've got a real opportunity, we've got more media attention, more fans coming from around the world. 'I think it is a prime opportunity to grow the game globally.' It is not just on the pitch or in the stands that the World Cup will have impact, with coaching set to be a key focus. The Gallagher High Performance Academy (GHPA) will see 16 female coaches embedded within their unions during the tournament. The World Rugby initiative aims to increase the number of female coaches in elite rugby by providing workshops and mentors as well as first-hand experience at tournaments. Hunter, who now serves as England defence coach, was part of the first GHPA cohort and believes it is doing important work in removing the barriers for women coaching in rugby. She added: 'Some of the barriers females find going into coaching, they don't often know the pathway exists or the opportunity is there. 'Sometimes I guess it might be seen as a risk to take on board a female who doesn't necessarily have all the previous experience, but they have got the skillset and the ability to do it. 'But they haven't been given the opportunity so that is what the High Performance Academy does. 'It gives people the opportunity to get a foot in the door, and it also allows the nation to have a female come in and just see the added value can have in their programme.'

Packer still has role to play for England, says Hunter
Sarah Hunter believes Marlie Packer still has an important role to play in England's World Cup campaign. Packer was replaced as captain by Zoe Aldcroft ahead of the 2025 Women's Six Nations, with the back row playing two of England's five matches as they won the Grand Slam. Despite her reduced role, former skipper Hunter, who now works as England's defence coach, believes there is a place for her in the squad. 'Marlie Packer had a bit of change in role from captaincy, now vice-captain,' Hunter explained. "This is her fourth World Cup, she brings so much experience. 'She's been captain so she can support Zoe really well, in terms of what it is like to be captain, what it is like to be at a World Cup. 'But that is not taking away from what she can deliver on the pitch. Some of her performances in the Six Nations, she put her head in places where people probably don't want to put them. 'She is this bundle of energy that you need within a squad, you need in those close World Cup game.' The Rugby World Cup begins on 22 August in Sunderland with Bristol's Ashton Gate set to host both semi-finals. Hunter hopes she and England will be there for one of them, having transitioned into coaching after retiring in 2023 and one of the first cohort in the Gallagher High Performance Academy. The World Rugby initiative aims to increase the number of female coaches in elite rugby by providing workshops and mentors as well as embedding coaches with unions at major tournaments. Hunter's first tournament was WXV in 2023, which England won, and she has helped stretched the Red Roses win streak to 25. Her work in the defence means she will work closely with Packer, who Hunter believes will fulfil any duty asked of her. She added: 'Marlie is reliable, she is dependable, she is someone that gets it, she is so passionate about playing for her country. 'She will do anything she can, she will play the role that she needs to for whatever game that is. 'She is very team-first, she will put people before herself to ensure whatever it is that is needed, she will ensure that either she does it or she supports the people who need to do it.'
