The Brumbies will not be pursuing complaints of homophobic slurs allegedly made by a Waratahs player in Sunday's Super Rugby match. Brumbies flanker David Pocock twice complained to referee Craig Joubert of gay slurs directed at Brumbies players, but the club has decided not to make a formal complaint unless a SANZAR investigator is able to find audio evidence.

Brumbies chief executive Michael Jones told News Corp that the club would not be lodging any formal complaints and would be leaving the issue for SANZAR to handle, and unless audio evidence was discovered, the complaint would be dropped.

"A SANZAR disciplinary officer will listen to the tapes to see if there is sufficient evidence to build a case to answer," Jones told News Corp. "From our perspective, all we can do is make SANZAR aware of it, which we have done. There is no requirement from us to make a formal complaint."

A SANZAR spokesman said that the investigation could take over a week as they go through audio from Craig Joubert's microphone and the FoxSports television camera microphones.

Pocock stated after the match that he had not heard the alleged comments, but had been informed by his team-mates.

"I didn't hear anything. I just had a few players coming to me saying there were homophobic slurs being thrown out, and I guess it is something at the Brumbies we have said it is not acceptable and we are not going to tolerate this.

"We were just making the referee aware. I put it with racism and all sorts of other things that aren't good enough."

Jones maintained that the offensive comments were made, but told News Corp he did not believe the Waratahs had a problem with homophobia within the club.

"I know this is not endemic to the Waratahs, I have no issues with NSW," Jones said. "David Pocock said there was an incident, he has put his personal position forward. We don't condone this behaviour at all, the ARU have signed up to [an inclusion policy], this isn't a part of the game, this is pretty inappropriate."

Waratahs fullback Israel Folau denied any of his team-mates were homophobic, while fellow team-mate Wycliff Palu declined to comment on the issue.

"Certainly not, I don't see that anywhere within our team and also in rugby in general," Folau said. "I think rugby has inclusion. Myself, I am a religious guy, where everyone has different backgrounds, cultural and different beliefs, it is a game of inclusion.

"From my point of view it fits in, going back to the game and what happened, I didn't know anything about it and I can't comment any further on those remarks."
