RWC SF: England v Springboks

@stodders said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:
@Victor-Meldrew it is out now. It has to be investigated. If Curry made it up, he needs to be banned for sullying Mbonambi’s reputation.
World rugby can’t do nothing.
From what's been described here, Mbonambi acted pretty similar to how I think I would act if falsely accused of racism.

Who's ever heard of a white curry anyway
Anyone who's eaten a Chicken Tikka Masala or a Beef Madras.

@stodders said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:
@Bones then ban Curry. False accusations should not be acceptable.
I doubt that there will be sufficient evidence either way.
Unless witnesses come forward there will be no way of proving it was said.
However if witnesses do not come forward this does not prove it was not said.
I suspect nothing will happen. If it was said it is not great and I would expect a ban.

Kudos to SA. Really have the players and tactic for the big ones.
We should spend all week moaning about the water carriers.
I liked when BOK said next waterboys that come on ,I will penalise, been waiting for a ref to say that for a long time, only thing is should of said it earlier (haftime?)
I will add they shouldn't be on at all, just a couple of medics wgen there an injury.@Dan54 said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:

See taping the hookers thigh right on half way so they couldn't kick off. Total bullshit.

That was the type of game that the NH loves, especially the Poms. Heroic, lion-hearted, valiant, courageous etc. England defended well against an ordinary attack, contested the rucks very well, and challenged the line out. But George at crucial moments, their replacements lions props and one to many up and under a cost them the game. SA looked really weary.

Needs investigating and a ban if true. Ditto a false allegation. Some things shouldn't be left on the park
England flanker Tom Curry alleged to referee Ben O’Keeffe that South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi called him a “white c---” during the Springboks’ World Cup semi-final victory.
The incident occurred just before the half-hour mark with England leading 9-3 as Curry approached O’Keeffe, the New Zealand official.
On the referee’s microphone, Curry can be clearly heard asking, “Sir, Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c--- what do I do?”
O’Keeffe replies: “Nothing please.” He then adds “I will be on it” although it is not clear if this in reference to Curry’s complaint, but he takes no action against Mbonambi. There is no audible evidence of Mbonambi’s alleged abuse.
After the final whistle, Mbonambi refused to shake Curry’s hand.
Following the game the Sale Sharks openside was asked if Mbonambi said something he should not have, he replied, “yeah” but would not confirm the exact details. “It does not need to be talked about.”

If true, Mbonambi should apologise for the white part. That's uncalled for.

@Victor-Meldrew the SA way is that Bongi need to wash his feet.

Perhaps there's an innocent explanation. Be good to have cleared up though, rather than fester.

@Victor-Meldrew did Curry hear it, or was it said directly at him? Different contexts

It’s going to be funny if Tom Curry heard the word “kant” and assumed the Boks were talking about him.

Curry was visibly shaken after the match. When asked if something was said to him by Mbonambi, he said: “Yeah.”
Visibily shaken, lol. I'd be shaken to my core for being called a white fluffybunny. Oh the humanity.
Personally as I'm a) white and b.) A fluffybunny

I had no idea that you are white.

Would Mnobambi be a natural Afrikaans speaker?

@Catogrande given most of the Bok forwards are Afrikaners, he’s probably speaking Afrikaans a lot of the time to them so they understand

Would be useful when playing Scotland too.
