In response to Ashwin Willemse's walkout during the live broadcast coverage of Saturday's Vodacom Super Rugby matches, an SA Rugby spokesperson said:
"We were as surprised and concerned as the rest of the rugby community by Saturday evening's incident on SuperSport.
"It would not be fair to make snap judgements. However, something was clearly amiss and it reflected poorly on rugby. This is a SuperSport matter and we have asked to be kept informed on the process of the investigation."
