Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the Rugby World Cup final after World Rugby confirmed there is “insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges” after he was investigated for an alleged racial slur during the semi-final win over England baccarat
England flanker Tom Curry alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victory baccarat
After 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck baccarat
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe baccarat
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment baccarat
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast baccarat
Following an investigation, World Rugby released a statement saying they won’t proceed with charges and that “the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light”, which freed the path for Mbonambi to be selected as the Springboks’ starting hooker for Saturday evening’s clash with New Zealand baccarat
The statement said: “World Rugby has undertaken a review of allegations made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language by South Africa’s Mbongeni Mbonambi during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday, along with a further allegation brought forward in recent days about a previous match in the Autumn Nations Series 2022 baccarat
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation baccarat
Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges baccarat
Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light baccarat
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious baccarat
”Tom Curry made the allegation during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat (PA Wire)Curry had been the target of threats on social media after the allegations, with his club Sale Sharks saying they were “absolutely appalled” by the “nature and level” of abuse, while England captain Owen Farrell also slammed those sending the flanker abuse baccarat
Despite the threats, Curry has been selected in the England team to take on Argentina in the bronze final on Friday evening and World Rugby also addressed this aspect of the situation in their statement baccarat
They wrote: “World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week baccarat
There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity baccarat
”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi confirmed that he had reached out to Curry and condemned the baccarat online abuse received baccarat
“If it’s a player, coach or referee, I don’t support that and I feel for him,” said Kolisi in the team announcement press conference baccarat
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message when I saw that was going on because he’s somebody that I respect and I’ve played against for quite a while baccarat
“I’ve been through it too baccarat
We can take it as players when it comes to us directly but when it comes to your family, it’s totally different baccarat
That’s exactly what he said to me, it’s really hard when it comes to your family baccarat
That’s the one part of the game we really don’t enjoy – we don’t mind being criticised for how we play on the field but when it becomes personal baccarat

“We’ve experienced it too baccarat
Cobus [Reinach] and his family received death threats earlier this tournament baccarat
As a rugby family, as much as we compete, we do support each other when things like this happen baccarat
”Siya Kolisi confirmed he had reached out to Tom Curry (Getty Images)The RFU also released a statement following World Rugby’s confirmation that they wouldn’t press charges and said they were “deeply disappointed” by the decision baccarat
“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced whilst playing for England against South Africa,” said the statement baccarat
“During the match baccarat between England and South Africa on Saturday 21st October 2023, Tom Curry reported to the referee that he had been racially abused by Mbongeni Mbonambi baccarat
The subsequent World Rugby investigation was informed by Tom Curry that he had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the Autumn Test 2022 baccarat
“World Rugby have today announced their decision not to bring charges in respect of either incident baccarat
The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby baccarat
The decision not to put the evidence before an independent disciplinary panel has denied the disciplinary process the opportunity to hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events, together with the other available evidence baccarat
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemn the disgusting abuse he and his family have received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field, in the public eye baccarat

South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber has explained his controversial decision to sub off starting fly half Manie Libbok after just 30 minutes of the Springboks’ comeback Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England baccarat
Libbok, who had emerged as South Africa’s first-choice No 10 in the lead-up to this tournament, was hooked after following a sliced clearance kick with a knock-on, capping a disastrous start to the game with England in the ascendancy baccarat
He was replaced by Handre Pollard, a key cog in the 2019 World Cup-winning Springboks side, and the veteran helped engineer a fightback before kicking the winning penalty on 77 minutes to secure a narrow 16-15 triumph and a spot in next Saturday’s final baccarat
Libbok is the more creative, dynamic fly half, while Pollard is the steadier option with a metronomic boot, and the move seemed to suggest South Africa were surrendering to England’s kick-heavy strategy and would attempt to beat them at their own game baccarat
In his post-match press conference, Nienaber laid out the reasons behind the decision and was adamant that Libbok would accept why it happened baccarat
“The beauty of this group is that we’re open and honest,” said Nienaber baccarat
“Because we have the right players, the players accept it baccarat
“Sometimes things are not going your way baccarat
We’ve done it with numerous others baccarat
Bongi [Mbonambi] in 2018, we took him off after 35 minutes baccarat
That specific day he wasn’t on fire but then he started the next week baccarat
“It’s the same with [Libbok] – we took him off early because things didn’t go his way baccarat
The main thing is that everything is for the team and they understand that baccarat
That’s the beauty of the squad, you’re open and honest and players take it on the chin baccarat
”Handre Pollard went on to kick the winning penalty for South Africa (PA Wire)Nienaber went on to stress that even though an early substitution was not how Libbok would have liked his game to go, he is still an option to start the final against the All Blacks baccarat
“It doesn’t mean he won’t start next week but sometimes, unfortunately, it is like that,” added Nienaber baccarat
“That’s how it is baccarat
“It’s for South Africa – it’s not for the individual or the ego, it’s for South Africa baccarat
We get messages from schoolkids and we see every single message they send baccarat
It’s for them, we can’t put our egos in front of that, South Africa is more important and the Springboks are more important than anything else baccarat
