South Africa have begun investigating an alleged racist slur directed at England flanker Tom Curry by their hooker Mbongeni Mbonambi. England have until Monday morning to lodge a complaint with the citing officer after Curry claimed he had been the victim of a discriminatory remark in Saturday’s 16-15 World Cup semi-final defeat by the Springboks. Curry drew the incident to the attention of referee Ben O’Keeffe in the second quarter of the match at the Stade de France.
A new theory has since emerged claiming Mbonambi was simply overheard issuing a defensive instruction to his team - ‘wit kant’ in Afrikaans, or ‘white side’. Mbonambi, who took over as captain once Siya Kolisi had been replaced, refused to shake Curry’s hand at the end of a dramatic clash in Paris that was won by Handre Pollard’s penalty after 78 minutes.
