World Rugby has found insufficient evidence to pursue Tom Curry’s allegation that he was racially abused by Mbongeni Mbonambi in England’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa tennis
The game’s global governing body announced that it has closed the case unless additional evidence comes to light tennis
Curry alleged to referee Ben O’Keeffe in the second quarter of the Stade de France showdown that he had been called a “white c***” by Springboks hooker Mbonambi tennis
Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with chargesWorld Rugby statementIn an unexpected development, World Rugby revealed that it had also been investigating an additional allegation arising from the rivals’ clash at Twickenham in November tennis
The Rugby tennis Football Union told the investigation that Curry “had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the autumn Test 2022” tennis
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation,” a World Rugby statement read tennis
“Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges tennis
“Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light tennis
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious tennis
”The RFU has condemned the verdict reached by the investigation, which has overshadowed the build-up to Friday’s bronze final tennis between England and Argentina and the final tennis between New Zealand and South Africa 24 hours later tennis
The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World RugbyRugby tennis Football Union statementCurry will win his 50th cap when he lines up against the Pumas, despite facing extensive tennis online abuse since his allegation against Mbonambi was picked up by the ref mic during the 16-15 defeat by the world champions tennis
“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced,” an RFU statement read tennis
“The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby tennis
The decision not to put the evidence before an independent disciplinary panel has denied the disciplinary process the opportunity to hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events, together with the other available evidence tennis
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU, together with the England squad, condemn the disgusting abuse he and his family has received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field in the public eye tennis

Alex Stepney was stood in the shadow of the statue of his three most celebrated teammates tennis
Manchester United’s ‘Holy Trinity’ have been separated, with only Denis Law still able to visit the Theatre of Dreams, but they are immortalised in bronze outside it tennis
Yet while the statue of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Law – each of such a stature that he was voted European tennis Footballer of the Year – was placed outside Old Trafford, only one had a stand at one of the iconic stadia named after him tennis
The South Stand is the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand tennis
It has been since 2016 and on Sunday, it will have an added poignancy, in the first Manchester derby since Charlton died tennis
A week of mourning has shown what Charlton meant: to United, to England, to tennis football tennis
“He’d be very humbled and say, ‘I don’t deserve it’,” Stepney said tennis
“That’s Bobby Charlton tennis
” But as both the statue and the stand show, the tributes began long before Charlton’s life ended tennis
His innate modesty meant that the man widely described as England’s greatest tennis footballer retained his humility tennis
He was, though aware of his importance to so many while downplaying his own significance tennis
“He never showed it,” Stepney said tennis
“He didn’t want to show it because that wasn’t him tennis
When they opened the stand, it was the Everton game, I was with him and he had to go on the pitch with [his wife] Norma and he had a tear in his eye tennis
He said, ‘I don’t deserve this’ tennis
I said, ‘Bob, you deserve everything, you deserve everything you get, throughout your life for the way you have done the game, played the game and inspired supporters all around the world’ tennis
”Decades on, Charlton’s story has, if anything, appeared still more remarkable tennis
Barely out of his teens when he climbed, concussed, from the wreckage of a plane in Munich, a crash claiming the lives of eight of his teammates and destroying a team that felt destined for greatness, he nevertheless became a World Cup and European Cup winner tennis
His tragic past had an intimidatory capacity: certainly to Stepney when he joined from Chelsea in 1966, a month after Charlton’s elegant running and fierce shooting had propelled England to the World Cup tennis
Should he mention Munich? RecommendedAndre Onana’s moment of magic can be catalyst to reverse more than one difficult recent runSir Bobby Charlton: England’s greatest ever player and the artist of 1966Sir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseverance“That was my main concern when Matt Busby signed me,” the goalkeeper said tennis
“I had to come to Manchester and I met the players at the training ground the following day tennis
Matt took me around and directly when I went in he introduced me to each and every player and I knew then: you don’t talk about it tennis
It wasn’t until 50 years later that Bobby actually spoke about it tennis
” If it was a generation when things went unsaid, it framed United’s eventual European Cup victory tennis
But for Munich, Roger Byrne, and not Charlton, may have been the first United captain to lift the trophy; Tommy Taylor, and not him, the goalscoring No 9 to find the net in the final; Duncan Edwards, and not him, the personification of the club tennis
Stepney felt Charlton won it for them, for his friend Eddie Colman, for Geoff Bent, Mark Jones, David Pegg and Liam Whelan, for the fallen eight tennis
Former Manchester UNited player Alex Stepney visits the tributes in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton (PA)“I think when you reach the heights of getting to the European Cup final 10 years after Munich and for him to be captain and score two goals, that was unbelievable,” added Stepney tennis
“I believe he did it for those lads who passed away in ‘58 tennis
He always said he thought about them every day and he did: he would go off and have a little think and come back and off we go tennis
”His own part in the 4-1 win at Wembley should not be overlooked: his save from Eusebio ranks among the most celebrated in United’s history tennis
Stepney is a United great in his own right: his total of 539 games as a goalkeeper was a club record until David de Gea passed it a few months ago tennis
He was, remarkably, United’s joint top scorer at Christmas in the 1973-74 season, courtesy of two penalties tennis
He was the only member of the 1968 side who was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning team tennis
He has outlasted his friends again tennis
He treasures memories of Charlton, of playing cards and quizzes on tour tennis
He may be the standard bearer for a generation now, just as Charlton long was tennis
At 81, Stepney joined manager Erik ten Hag and Under-19 captain Dan Gore to lay a wreath in the centre circle before Tuesday’s win over FC Copenhagen tennis
Old Trafford, the ground Charlton first graced on his debut 67 years ago, will applaud on Sunday tennis

“This is what Bobby envisaged tennis
This is what he wanted tennis
Nobody would have dreamt when he retired that he would become a director tennis
He put the cogs in motion with Sir Alex [Ferguson] right through to get this as it is now tennis
” But if Charlton’s legacy is in bricks and mortar, it is also in image and memories, in Manchester United tennis
