DUBLIN, Oct 23 — World Rugby will review the allegation of racism levelled at South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi by England flanker Tom Curry during their World Cup semi-final...
Craving for 'Heng Hwa mee sua'? Head over to Jalan Ipoh's Restoran Riverview Small Village for the noodles and other tasty dishesSouth Africa's hooker Bongi Mbonambi raises his arms as he celebrates South Africa's victory at the end of the France 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final match between England and South Africa at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis October 21, 2023.
Curry alleges that Mbonambi used a racial slur against him in the first half of the Springboks’ 16-15 victory that has set up a final meeting against old foes New Zealand at the same venue on Saturday.“We can confirm that we are formally reviewing the allegation made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday.
Curry confirmed an incident when questioned by reporters afterwards but refused to say what had allegedly been said.If found guilty Mbonambi is likely to face a suspension, which would be a huge blow to the Boks ahead of the final. He is their only specialist hooker in the squad after they replaced the injured Malcolm Marx with flyhalf Handre Pollard, who kicked the winning penalty against England.
Regular loose-forwards Deon Fourie and Marco van Staden are the other hooker options in the squad, but it would be a tall order to ask them to scrum for 80 minutes against a pack as accomplished as New Zealand’s. — Reuters
