This is the moment Wales wing Alex Cuthbert throws away a mobile telephone belonging to a member of the public, an incident captured on video and posted on Twitter.

The altercation, which involved expletives, has been brought to the attention of Warren Gatland and the Wales management.

The matter took place last December when Cardiff Blues flier Cuthbert was not under the jurisdiction of the Welsh camp.

In the video, Cuthbert is shown to launch the phone down the street, much to the annoyance of the individual who angrily confronts him, calling him an abusive name.

In response, the Lions wing is heard to say: “It’s gone mate. What are you going to do?”

A Welsh Rugby Union spokesperson said: “The Wales squad management are aware of the footage which relates to an event in 2014, which was outside of a Wales campaign.

“All players selected for squad duties are reminded of the standards of conduct required of them in public. The player featured will be spoken to.”

WalesOnline are trying to reach the Blues for a statement.
