A top university rugby club has been disbanded and withdrawn from all competitions after handing out “clearly sexist” pamphlets in freshers’ week.

London School of Economics Students’ Union (LSESU) announced the step on Tuesday evening after complaints from students and outrage on social media had sparked an investigation.

Entries in a glossary of the men’s rugby club’s jargon include a description of the LSE’s female team as “beast-like women who play sport just so they can come out with us.”
