England have until Monday morning to report alleged incident to citing commissioner
England 15 South Africa 16 as it happened: Rugby World Cup semi-finalSouth Africa on Sunday responded by confirming they are looking into the incident. “We are aware of the allegation, which we take very seriously, and are reviewing the available evidence.

The sport’s global governing body can also choose to pursue the matter, with any case likely to be brought under the ‘bringing the game into disrepute’ banner. Also, if the citing officer finds any evidence of the alleged racist remark, disciplinary proceedings can be triggered against Mbonambi, with an offence such as this likely to contravene law 9.12 – a player must not verbally abuse anyone. England led for all but five minutes of the semi-final and were nine points ahead until RG Snyman went over in the 70th minute at a time when the Springboks’ scrum was taking control through the introduction of the ‘Bomb Squad’. Jonny May said England’s heroic effort against the world champions was fuelled by the belief that they had been dismissed as a serious threat by South Africa.“Some of the things their coach has openly said about us in their documentaries and stuff probably just adds fuel to the fire. “We touched on their documentary and we’ve got staff who were with them and they gave us insight of how they feel about us.”Edinburgh debutant Ben Healy inspires comeback victory against DragonsMick Jagger on ageing: ‘As you get older, a lot of your friends die.
