Hey folks! So, there’s been some drama in the rugby world. England’s head coach, Steve Borthwick, is accusing World Rugby of not giving Tom Curry a fair chance to speak up about an alleged on-field racial slur. Apparently, Curry claims that he was abused during last Saturday’s World Cup semi-final by South Africa’s Bongi Mbonambi. And get this, it’s not the first time Mbonambi has been accused of making a similar comment. But here’s the kicker – World Rugby reviewed all the evidence and cleared Mbonambi, saying there wasn’t enough proof. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is not happy about it, though. They wanted an independent disciplinary panel where Curry could present his case. But no dice. South Africa is now heading to the final, and Mbonambi is free to play. Curry, on the other hand, has been facing online abuse for speaking out. That’s just not cool, guys. The RFU and the England squad are standing by Curry, condemning the abuse he and his family have received. They’re all about promoting a safe and inclusive environment in rugby. World Rugby, for their part, says they accept that Curry made the allegations in good faith. They’re concerned about the online abuse too. The South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby) is backing Mbonambi, saying they have faith in his honesty and integrity. Springboks captain Siya Kolisi even reached out to Curry to offer support. Good on him! In other news, the South African team for the final against the All Blacks has been announced. Head coach Jacques Nienaber has made a couple of changes, bringing in Faf de Klerk and Handre Pollard as half-backs. They’re hoping to secure their fourth World Cup win. Exciting stuff! Let’s see how it all plays out on Saturday. Stay tuned, folks!
