The NRL is investigating a claim one of its Australian staffers made a racist remark about Tongan fans during the weekend's historic test between Tonga and Australia.

"Dance monkey dance" was the phrase said to have been spoken by an NRL employee towards Tongan fans who got up and danced during the game's half-time entertainment.
