Tom Curry made two allegations that Mbonambi had used discriminatory language.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Paris WORLD RUGBY WILL not proceed with charges against Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi after finding “insufficient evidence” to support two allegations that he used discriminatory language during matches.
However, the experienced Mbonambi has been included in the Springboks team to face the All Blacks after World Rugby confirmed it will not proceed with charges. World Rugby also expressed its concern about the social media abuse that Mbonambi and Curry have both been subjected to in recent days. With World Rugby not bringing this case before an independent disciplinary committee, the RFU says it is denying the opportunity to “hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events.
“World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week. There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity.”“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced whilst playing for England against South Africa.
