Tom Curry accuses South Africa hooker of racist comment during World Cup semi-final

England’s Tom Curry

Mbonambi is among the defending champions’ group of senior leaders and finished the game as captain after Siya Kolisi’s substitution.

The England flanker refused to comment on what was said post-match, though did confirm that he felt Mbonambi’s remark had crossed the line.

Both teams are able to refer any incident of concern to the match citing commissioner within 24 hours of the final whistle. The citing officer then has 12 hours to determine if they will lay in charges.

World Rugby refused to comment while this 36-hour window was open.

Deon Davids, South Africa’s forwards coach, stressed afterwards that he was “not aware” of anything that was said. “If it was discussed, I’m not sure what the comment was or when it was said. I don’t know.”

South Africa Rugby have been approached for comment.
