Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Bongi Mbonambi called Tom Curry a white cunt during Rugby match game.




The England flanker Tom Curry alleged to the referee during his side’s heroic defeat by South Africa in Saturday’s World Cup semi-final that he was called a “white cunt” by the Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi.


Curry can clearly be heard making the allegation of a racist slur to Ben O’Keeffe, the referee, in the 28th minute of England’s one-point defeat. He said: “Sir, sir, if their hooker calls me a white cunt what do I do?” The New Zealander responded by saying: “Nothing please. I’ll be on it.” There is no audio available of the alleged comment by Mbonambi.


For its part, the English Federation (RFU) refused to comment but could refer the World Rugby quote to the commission if it deems it appropriate. She has 36 hours to do so.


This Sunday morning, Deon Davids, the Springboks coach, admitted that he was not aware of this affair. “I don’t know anything about possible comments,” he assures. If this was discussed, I’m not sure what the comment was or when it was said. I don’t know. »


After the match, the two teams separated after a few scuffles, notably between Owen Farrell and the South African Willie Le Roux. The English captain then spoke of a simple “misunderstanding”.


Curry was visibly shaken after the match. When asked if something was said to him by Mbonambi, he said: “Yeah.” Pressed on what had been said, he declined to say but asked if the matter had been resolved at the end of the match – Curry appeared to go to shake hands with Mbonambi but the South African seemed to push his hand away – he added: “No. It doesn’t need to be talked about. I’m not talking about it now.”


The Rugby Football Union has declined to comment but can also refer the incident to the citing commissioner should it wish to do so. It is believed England consider the incident a matter for World Rugby. The citing window during the tournament is 36 hours after a match.


In a statement issued on Sunday, South Africa Rugby said: “We are aware of the allegation, which we take very seriously, and are reviewing the available evidence. We will engage with Bongi if anything is found to substantiate the claim.”
