Springboks: The Bongi Mbonambi behind-the-scenes reaction to allegation

Curry should maybe do a little research and understand that South Africa has 11 Official languages One of which is Afrikaans, Now if you say in Afrikaans “aan die wit kant” or just “wit kant” then direct translation to English would be “On the White side” or just “white side” now I know the English team have been playing hard but in general their clothes was still considered white or at least Wit 🙃. So Mr Curry sorry that you took offense for being allocated to the team playing in white clothes, but it was not a racially aligned or even negative comment

they had a certain amount of time to make an official formal complaint England that is 36 hours right before ANY investigating right i have not read curry or England making such a move SO sorry bro (curry) you are a hard barzted tough as they come im sure if you wanted this bone you would have crushed it you havent so shut this shit down bro these homos arent anywhere near as tough as you and bongi bro but they are feeding ,regurgitating , manifesting this stuff into the ridiculous You have won many times in your life cause your a gun (kiwi slang excellent ) arent wins so much better when the loser is a good loser

That Tom is a very angry man, a very bad loser actually, l just wonder how does he expect the Rugby World Cup should handle his nonsense? The committee is fucusing to incidents that happens during World Cup, get your facts right Tom, stop making yourself prat idiot!!!

Tom Curry the England player, why does he bring this incident of him & Mbonambi now? & yet it unfolded last year in Twickenham where they lost 27-15, why now ? In fact the Rugby World Cup committee shouldn’t even entertain his rubbish he’s just an angry loser

As an afraans speaking person both wyd & white make sense to use ‘white kant’ simply means white side refering to the color of the jerseys the other team was wearing

Blacks in South Africa don't use the words in the teanslation they have been attributed to Bongi. They even frown on “Bloody” or “Oh god.”

We always joked how some idiot was going to get confused by that word… at least he didn't call him a “rooinek poes”…

I know two things .

One is that Bongi is not guilty.

Two.The Springboks is about to win their back to back world cup.

The Springboks only had 5% possession against England and they beat a team that had 94% possession of the ball.

So S.A defence for Bongi is he said wit Kant translated to white side, and there is me thinking that Ben O”Keeffe who was ref would say that.

Bongi is guilty of using the Afrikaans word KANT….England been called white by the ref and SA green by the ref….so Bongi warning his players the ball was on the white side….white kant….Tom must grow a pair….. Farrell cost England the game… back chatting the ref cost 10meters and 3 points…Farrell also tripped a player in the red zone…yellow and another 3 points….England France and Ireland cry like girls when they loose…..Tom shud apologize and England shud learn how to score trys if they ever want to be genuine contenders ..as we all saw kicking and chasing in the rain may get them close but thst’s it….if memory serves me right they haven’t scored a single try against SA in all of the WC games played….my advice….stop blaming everyone….develope mental toughness and learn how to score trys…if they don’t have the talent do what Ireland and Scotland do….go shopping….

If Curry had called him a black c*** Curry would be banned and probably never play for England again, justice is not going to be dealt with fairly here because of the racial implications.

Guilty as hell! 1 week suspension please! 😀

I find all of this commentary pathetic. I thought rugby was a mans game but is turning out to be a bickering, squabbling match. World Rugby need to pull their finger out and contol their events better - even their laughable group seedings for the event!

He is “said to” be training well. I don't believe this. I think he has been chucking Jamie Georgers in while questioning his existential role

Ummm. Isn’t it RWC final week?

Maybe we can spend the next 207 weeks talking about how polite forwards should be to each other, which words in one language can sound like which words in another, or whether a personal insult is likely to be delivered in the same tone as a defensive call to defend the “wide side”.

But it seems like this would be a good week to talk about rugby.

What is truly disturbing is that this issue has not been settled already. The video, audio and people concerned are all immediately available, so what’s the problem?

It’s clear an attempt to coarse disruption to the SA side, it’s happening all the time, it’s dirty downright dirty tricks. Take in consideration the bokke behavior in comparison of the hooligan behavior of the English captain, screaming at the referee…. Not a word about that!

Grow some balls curry, still hurting?

Lost in translation. I mean its very rare for black to slur against white, usually other way around…i hate racism, dont misunderstand me here, i dont mean this with any harm…

apparently this incident happened in the first half yet it takes days upon days to come to a verdict for audio feeds thats are less than 40 minutes in length. This is being handled poorly.

Storm in a tea cup. World Rugby has jumped on this allegation. Most pundits and avid supporters have heard some audio and there is consensus that it wast lost in Translation but Funny World Rugby is dragging there feet.

Certainly, to disrupt the preparation of the Boks.

Mr Bill and your merry “Yes Men” stop bringing politics into the game.

Racism is a real issue and should have been dealt decisively and avoid a media Circus.

Shame on you and your Team at World Rugby.

Had the time to announce a new Rugby format but not dealing with an allegation or managing the communication flow some biase intent should I say?

This was only a attempt by England to gain an edge with the ref. There is no proof that he said anything. This was a deliberate tactic.

Bongi said in afrikaans “white offside”, ask an afrikaans on here to spell it out and it sounds very close to the swear word he was accused of saying. Nothing in it, certainly not racial.
