The former Northampton ace, who now plays for Montpellier, was threatened on social media in a menacing post which also featured a picture of his young son.<\/p>\n<p>Written in French, the X-rated message translates to: &#8220;Dirty son of a b****. I hope that when you return to Montpellier you get murdered by French people on the ground. Gang of thieves, easy to win a title by cheating.&#8221; The perpetrator continued by sending a picture of Reinach&#8217;s young son with the caption: &#8220;Go and die.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>French police are now looking into the incident but Reinach is reported to be unfazed heading into tonight&#8217;s Stade de France showdown with England.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen him every day,&#8221; said South Africa assistant coach Mzwandile Stick. &#8220;He&#8217;s in a good space. He&#8217;s got his family around him.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> JUST IN: <\/strong> <strong>England and South Africa referee changed by World Rugby for semi-final tie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/69\/590x\/secondary\/5024895.jpg?r=1697841916170\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I must also give credit to the French for the security around our hotels with all the teams in the World Cup. The security was just another level. So I don&#8217;t think at the moment, there is something to worry about because we know for sure we are well protected in our camps.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are here to represent South Africa. If someone has got a problem with that, the French authorities will have to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Instagram post to Reinach, which was shared online, insulted the player and then expressed the hope that he is &#8216;murdered by French people on the ground&#8217; when he returned to Montpellier. Team-mate Pieter-Steph du Toit added that the Springboks have confidence in the police to deal with the perpetrator.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>England ready to find their bark at Rugby World Cup as locals carry fluffy dogs[INSIGHT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea ace Ben Chilwell left with egg on his face after Rugby World Cup blunder[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>South African TV advert brutally rinses Wales with Rugby World Cup dig[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/69\/590x\/secondary\/5024898.jpg?r=1697841919980\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard there were some threats made to him and his family.
