RWC SF: England v Springboks

[Rancid Schnitzel]

It obviously doesn't need to be explained that this is an ultra, hyper sensitive issue. There are appurtenant and reasonable questions to ask about why the English camp are putting their neck out like this. Simply slagging them off with accusations of sour grapes and manipulating the press is pretty damn weak.

3rd para they say Curry spoke to the investigators and then in the 5th they whinge that WR is not putting “THE EVIDENCE” before a disciplinary panel so “HIS ACCOUNT” can be assessed against the other available evidence.

Mate, I’m drunk and definitely not trying to be a dick (it comes naturally), but can you post a link to what you’re talking about? I can only find the WRU statement above

@Dodge RFU statement

Thanks, hadn’t seen that.

Edit: don’t know what that link actually says or is complaining about to be honest. “Informed by Tom Curry” might mean in writing, rather than interviewed by a panel? Don’t know, either way, it appears he was able to present his case - even if it was in writing - it was just decided that there wasn’t enough evidence to proceed with a charge. Thems the breaks.

The ferocity of the RFU and Borthwick’s response speaks volumes for them sticking up for their player, but I don’t know what it says about the truth of the incident.

Overall, and last word on it from me, I’ve still got no idea if it happened, still feel sorry for Curry about how he’s been treated and suspect players have learned a simple truth that complaining about this sort of thing isn’t good for you, so they won’t

@Catogrande RFU alleging that Mbonambi is a repeat offender. Ooer

He did yell it several times.

@Dodge said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:

No due process, repeat accusation, can only imagine the gnashing of teeth if the accusation had been the other way around. The abuse Tom Curry has received online is shameful

I will not be shamed for my reliably eyes and ears informed position that Curry is a moron.

Habullshit.

I’m sure deflecting from this genuine racism has nothing to do with the posture the RFU has constructed regarding Curry’s unsubstantiated allegations: https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/s/wfPVRf35jw

“ Sarek was introduced to the RFU volunteer, who said Sarek used the term, “not another black fluffybunny””

But, but he was born a Nigerian and has been there too.

Any more on the Curry/Mbonambi saga? Seems chickenshit of England to suggest their man was right and yet do nothing about it after making a big fuss.

@W32 Today Bongi received a special jersey from the mayor of Cape Town

Nah mate. They’ve said their piece. If they kept going on about it people would think they’re blinkered, sour, South Africans.

No offence.

[W32]

Indeed. Instead they are moral high ground claiming, hard done by kants!
