Saracens head coach Joe Shaw has refused to say when, or if, director of rugby Brendan Venter will speak to the media again, despite the club facing fines for him not doing so.

him → publish → fines
Venter was not at Wednesday's pre-match press conference for their forthcoming game with Sale after not attending Prem Rugby's pre-season launch day, or doing any media duties before, during or after the opening-weekend victory at Leicester.

The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday that Venter had "resigned" as director of rugby and taken up a new role as "head of rugby culture and wine consultant", but this has not been confirmed by the club nor Prem Rugby.

this → report → club
When asked if Venter would resume media duties, as part of his responsibilities as a director of rugby, Shaw said: "I'm just going to talk about the rugby.

I → ask → rugby
I'll leave the club to talk about where we stand on all those kind of things."
asserted
we → leave → things
BBC Sport has contacted Saracens for comment.

Sport → contact → comment
It is understood Sarries have already been fined £5,000 after Venter was not present at the Prem's pre-season launch day.
asserted
Venter → understand → day
It is also thought a change of job title would not preclude Venter from his contractual responsibilities.
asserted
change → think → responsibilities
Saracens announced in January that Venter would be returning as director of rugby and have yet to publicly confirm any change to his day-to-day responsibilities.
asserted
Venter → announce → responsibilities
He succeeded Mark McCall, who stepped down at the end of last season after 15 years in the job.
asserted
who → succeed → job

Shaw confirmed that centre Olly Hartley broke his arm in Sunday's 40-38 win at Leicester.

asserted
who → require → Road
Sarries were already 14-0 up but the next 13 minutes after Hartley's injury saw the hosts reduce the deficit to 14-12.
asserted
hosts → see → 14
"When you play and train with somebody, like they have been with Olly for so long, and then it's the first game of the season and someone gets properly hurt, breaks their arm, you're human beings, it affects you," Shaw said.
asserted
Shaw → play → you
"We managed to to shuffle things around really calmly, with good leadership from the people on the pitch, and it was really pleasing to get through that adversity."
