Rugby player involved in Ben Stokes, Gus Atkinson nightclub scrap identified

The Saracens rugby player who was involved in the brawl, along with England's Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson, has been identified as Totoa Auvaa, according to the Daily Mail.

Auvaa, 21, is reportedly 6 feet 5 inches tall, weighs 125 kilograms, and comes from the island nation of Samoa in the Pacific.

In the past few hours, the story involving Stokes and Atkinson's antics in a nightclub in Chelsea has escalated. According to reports, the England duo were involved in a tussle with Auvaa in the early hours of Monday morning at a nightclub named Rex Rooms on Kings Road in Chelsea, London, after the duo were initially reported to have broken a midnight curfew imposed on the squad following the off-field troubles which plagued England's tour of New Zealand and Australia in the winter.

It is widely understood that the Saracens players injured an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) security guard with a punch, which was initially targeted towards Atkinson. The security personnel were out there supervising the aforementioned players, with both Stokes and Atkinson leaving the incident unhurt.

According to the Daily Mail, a large group of England's Test squad were out celebrating the Test win over New Zealand at the White Horse pub in Parsons Green before Stokes and Atkinson moved to Rex Rooms late in the night.
