It has been reported that the North London Rugby Union Club, Saracens, have sacked Totoa Auvaa, who was involved in a nightclub incident with England cricketers Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson in June 2026, following another incident in St Albans on 10 October 2026.
Saracens stated that:
"The club has determined that his conduct falls short of the standards expected of everyone who represents Saracens, both on and off the pitch."
And added that:
“We take our responsibilities to our supporters, young people and partners seriously and we remain committed to upholding the standards of our conduct expected across the club."
Auvaa, who is 21 years old, is from Samoa.
