    And yet all that has happened is that Curry raised a possible racial slur to the ref, downplayed it post match, the England team have said nothing and we’ve seen no whining on here from the English contingent and very little in the press.

    Good article from Stuart Barnes on England's need to score tries.

    Stuart Barnes  /  TimesMediaSport

    England need more panache (and tries) to become a top team

    England need more panache (and tries) to become a top team

    One-off wonders deserve immense credit for catching Springboks cold. But, had they won, it would have taken a veritable monsoon for them to cage the All Blacks

    Bok team going to be knackered going into this. 2 tough games on the trot. After the final they would have played every team in the current top 6 world rankings....

    Current WR Ranking...

    South Africa
    New Zealand
    Ireland
    France
    England
    Scotland

    So you're saying they've had the perfect warm up to prepare themselves?

    Bokke continue to firm in favouritism.

    Compare that to the 2007 WC they won.... Argi and Fiji in knockouts... Very different. They will do well to recover and definite chance AB's can run away with it.

    Or 2019 - Japan and Wales...

    Not in the context of what I was saying and replying to, which was about England being a bunch of whiners. "All" was in regard to Curry's actions, not the actual possible racial slur. Which I agree, is significant if proven to be true.

    @Catogrande it's an extremely significant accusation to make on the fly. He knows the ref is mic'd up. Or maybe not, it is Curry.

    @Bones

    Ah! Me taking you out of context rather than the other way round. If unfounded then his action is significant. Agreed. However in the context of England being whiners, my point stands. Not much evidence of it currently.

    Not sure what you’re getting at with the “it is Curry” bit. He’s not known for being a twat. Well, no more than any decent openside that is.

    @Catogrande I'm not surprised you've missed my umpteen posts prior to this incident calling him a moron, but they're there. Makes SBW look like a genius.

    Relief.
    But if that level of performance is repeated in the final we are going to see our backsides against the ABs.

    I hope not, for your sake and my eyes. Forgive me but the SA 23 don't bear any resemblance to Charlize Theron. Besides, you are defending RWC World Champions and number one, play in the NH, and had some good matches to tune up and reach match fitness. We are definitive underpups.

    Unlikely, since the ref apparently also heard it. But they both could have misheard. I don't think this is an issue, but if you'd like to stand down the whole starting front row (or the reserve bench) against the ABs, I won't complain.

    Where have you seen that? Pretty damning of O'Keeffe if so and if not that's another false yet damning slur.

    From the fine and impartial writing of the Sun

    Oct 22, 2023  /  Sport

    England'S Curry accuses South Africa's Mbonambi of racial slur during semi-final

    England'S Curry accuses South Africa's Mbonambi of racial slur during semi-final

    ENGLAND star Tom Curry accused South Africa’s Bongi Mbonambi of calling him a “white c***” in a staggering World Cup race row. And World Rugby chiefs are now under pressure to BAN the Springbo…

    In the conversation, picked up by the “ref link” microphone, the Sale flanker went up to the official and said: “Sir, Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c*** what can I do?"
    O'Keeffe responded: "Nothing please. I’ll be on it."

    And I did say, "apparently" but hmm, yes it still depends on the "if their"...ok this is a real hypothetical.
