Bath fly-half Freddie Burns has stood up to an aggressive online troll and it's brilliant.
Trolling is a very modern phenomenon that has no signs of abating any time soon. Many players choose to not look at their mentions because the remarks became so bad.
The accused, who was using a false account has decided to “resign” from his job after the Bath fly-half made official complaints to his work.
He is now the“former” director of L&C mortgages and the chairman of Oldfield Old Boys, where Burns began his career as a young lad.
"This man aggressively trolled me for weeks behind a false account." tweeted Burns.
