RWC SF: England v Springboks

@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.

According to Twitter, yes.

@Victor-Meldrew is that South African Twitter/X? 😬

Perhaps there's an innocent explanation. Be good to have cleared up though, rather than fester.
That translation makes no sense "oi you white side" yup totally normal thing to say.
If they have it on a mic they can check it otherwise it's their words against eachother.

World rugby can’t do nothing.
Oh I think they can, and they often do. Nothing, that is.

@Victor-Meldrew said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:
England flanker Tom Curry alleged to referee Ben O’Keeffe that South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi called him a “Fern poster” 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 Fern Poster, what do I do?”
O’Keeffe replies: “Nothing please.” He then adds “I will be on it, you fluffybunny” 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. But I bet there's a thousand word thread on the Fern about it.”
FIFY.

@Bones Granted.
Exclusive: it is believed that Wayne Barnes always looks 90 degrees away to the left of forward passes even if he accidentally points to them.
