Julian Savea has backed up his wife Fatima's call for calm over his struggles in Toulon and confirmed there have been threats to one of his daughters.
Fatima Savea drew a sharp response from Toulon fans when she suggested on Sunday (NZT) that she feared for her and her daughter's life "with the amount of threats and hateful messages I have received from angry fans".
The former All Black winger then stepped up to back her up:
La #TeamRCT, a busy twitter account for Toulon fans that has 4,331 followers, was quick to react, noting they rarely forward tweets but "this one shocks me".
They replied with: "We are not the mafia here. No one is going to attack his family. We have never had a history of that order here."
