World Rugby Launches Investigation
Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi was accused by England’s flanker Tom Curry of racially abusing. Curry complained to referee Ben O’Keeffe claiming that Mbonambi called him a white c***.
Rugby Football Union which is the governing body for rugby in England has raised an official complaint with World Rugby who released a statement and confirmed that they will open an investigation into the incident as it takes every allegation of discriminatory very seriously.
England and South Africa will look to put this incident aside and not let it impact them as they have crucial games to play and win over the weekend.
