English rugby outfit Saracens has cut ties with academy prospect Totoa Auvaa following an occurrence over the weekend, according to reporting from the BBC and The Guardian. Both outlets noted that the disciplinary measure follows a previous dispute involving national cricket players Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson. While the BBC referred to that prior situation as a nightclub disturbance, The Guardian reported that Auvaa struck Atkinson, an event that provoked turmoil surrounding Stokes's national team leadership. In addressing the latest development, Saracens announced that Auvaa's recent actions failed to satisfy the organization's behavioral benchmarks, according to The Guardian.
