Watch - Video purporting to reveal Bongi Mbonambi and Tom Curry incident emerges

Clearly the supposed insult was not spoken in a whisper. Yet not one English player - and there were at least five within earshot - backed Curry up or gave evidence on his behalf at the enquiry. Don’t you English supporters think that’s a bit strange? Or if it did take place did his team mates not back him because he is universally unpopular and they agreed with the insult.

Whinging, whining, grumbling, complaining. A sense of entitlement that knows no bounds. No wonder everybody dislikes England. I don’t know when next England is due to play in South Africa, but if Curry is there, I wish him luck.

Any journalist worth his salt would soon discover that St Albans is in a VERY Afrikaans speaking city, Pretoria.

As an old boy of that school - I can attest that playing against local schools, you learnt the value of speaking Afrikaans …

C’mon Ian Cameron - grow a pair and retract this shite.

The reaction from Ben O'Keefe is curious, how would he feel if a similar comment was made about him? Would he expect an official to respond in the same way that he did?

‘The subsequent World Rugby investigation were informed by Tom Curry that he had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the autumn Test 2022. So Bongi has got away with it again.

Even if Bongi said white cunt (doubt it or think he meant the SA way) it wouldn’t make it racism or a racist act. It’s still an insult because cunt was used but just because a race descriptor is used isn’t by itself racist. Unless there’s context to suggest that the phrase was used to denigrate all people of a particular race, you can’t assume that. I just think it’s dumb to say that just because someone says that white guy or this black guy, it’s suddenly become racist. It would be racist if someone used a racial slur but just pointing out the race of an individual, doesn’t make it racist.

I have travelled every part of South Africa, North South, East, West, and whenever I encountered a black person I would always start in Afrikaans. I have never encountered any black who could not speak Afrikaans.

RP won’t report this because it doesn’t suit WR and Ben Smith’s agenda, but South Africa’s largest and most credible news organisation has just revealed some stunning facts about this case. It’s deeply deeply disturbing. Turns out, Curry’s complaint concerns something said by Bongi in the December 2022 game. Yes, you read that correctly. This means Curry’s attack on Bongi was premeditated and he knew EXACTLY what he was doing. This is so vile and disappointing, one can only be lost for words…. The fact that WR continues to “investigate” this farce, and have PR (its propaganda arm) cover for it in this regard, is shameful in a week leading up to the RWC.

It’s an ai-style article, with vague references to groups of people that say X or Y, and zero research or even critical thinking by the writer.

If there was a clear and obvious racial slur then deal with it. Otherwise assume innocence and move on.

This can’t be the thing most sensible people care about in a RWC final week?

So Bongi went to a private English-speaking school yet can't speak English. He's, allegedly, an international hooker yet he can't remotely throw straight. Presumably if he fell into a barrel of tits he'd come out sucking his thumb..
