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.Yeah except they ignored him and kept doing it and he did nothing.
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
Listen: Tom Curry accuses Bongi Mbonambi of racist slur during Rugby World Cup semi-final
Incident occurred in the first half of the World Cup semi-final against England, with remarks caught on referee Ben O’Keeffe's microphone
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?”
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.

@Machpants said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:
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? 😬
