Warrington's Charnley meets man behind online death threat

Warrington winger Josh Charnley hopes coming face-to-face with the person who subjected him to a death threat on social media will help steer the culprit away from online abuse in future.

The club strongly condemned the message at the time, which was sent during Warrington's Betfred Super League defeat by Hull KR last month.

The man who sent the threat has been handed a long-term ban by Warrington, as has another women who posted a similar message.

As part of the Rugby Football League's 'Tackle It' campaign, Charnley met recently with the man involved and accepted his apology.

Charnley, 30, told BBC Breakfast: "You could see he was shaking, he felt embarrassed about it.

"He wouldn't have said that to me in that room, no chance.

"If you can meet them then you can get your point across and hopefully they'll take that on the chin."
