South Africa are investigating Tom Curry’s claim that Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during England’s narrow Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat mobile
Curry made the allegation to referee Ben O’Keeffe just after the 20-minute mark of the hard-fought semi-final, with the exchange picked up by the ref mic mobile
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe mobile
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment mobile
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast mobile
The South Africa hooker subsequently appeared to refuse to slap away Curry’s attempted handshake at full time mobile
A statement from South Africa Rugby said: “We are aware of the allegation, which we take very seriously, and are reviewing the available evidence mobile
“We will engage with Bongi if anything is found to substantiate the claim mobile

Curry refused to comment on what was said post-match, though did confirm that he felt Mbonambi’s remark had crossed the line mobile
Both teams are able to refer any incident of concern to the match citing commissioner within 24 hours of the final whistle mobile
The citing officer then has 12 hours to determine if they will lay in charges mobile
World Rugby refused to comment while this 36-hour window was open mobile
Deon Davids, South Africa’s forwards coach, stressed afterwards that he was “not aware” of anything that was said mobile
“If it was discussed, I’m not sure what the comment was or when it was said mobile
I don’t know mobile

Ben Stokes is set to make an overdue return to the World Cup stage this weekend but he feared his tournament was over before it had even started when he “heard a pop” while training in the gym mobile
Stokes has missed all three of England’s games so far, with details sketchy about the nature of the hip problem that occurred during the warm-up week in Guwahati mobile
But the 32-year-old is now primed and ready for a comeback in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa in Mumbai and finally free to open up about worries he had sustained a major injury mobile
“I actually ripped the fascia off my muscle mobile
It was a very interesting one, a very rare one to do,” he said mobile
“I did it in the gym…I heard it pop mobile
So did our strength and conditioning coach mobile
When I initially did it I thought I was done, because it’s not good hearing a pop mobile
“I did think I was out but we got the scans back 36hrs, maybe two days, later and thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we originally thought mobile
“We got a programme in place straightaway, it went really well, and now I’m here now available for selection mobile
I’ve worked very hard to get to where I am now and I’m pretty confident that everything will be good mobile
”We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in mobile
I'm not the Messiah mobile
Ben StokesStokes was put through his paces during a lengthy workout at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night, taking part in high-intensity fielding drills and enjoying a long batting stint in the nets mobile
Meanwhile, Jofra Archer was also seen for the first time since joining up with the squad as a reserve, running in the outfield as he continued his recovery from a long stint on the sidelines mobile
It is hard to over-estimate the importance of Stokes’ presence in the side as England look to cast off a modest start to their title defence and rediscover their mojo mobile
Stokes’ presence has loomed large for a long time, be it his match-winning turn in the 2019 final, his clutch performance in the T20 equivalent last year or his remarkable reinvention of the Test team in his role as red-ball captain mobile
Yet he is at pains to avoid being drawn as an incoming saviour, riding to his team-mates’ rescue mobile
“We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in,” he said mobile
“I’m not the Messiah, I think Woody (Mark Wood) has already said that, which is true mobile
I’m one person in a team sport…I know I’m just a very small part of a bigger entity mobile
“Everyone who walks on to that field for England is a match-winner in their own right mobile
All I can try and do is what I do every single time I wear an England shirt and give my absolute all mobile
”Despite his protestations, Stokes remains much more than a cog in the machine mobile
He was even dubbed the squad’s “spiritual leader” by head coach Matthew Mott after delivering a dressing room speech following their defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi mobile
“That must be because we’re in India!” he said of his new job description mobile
“But I know that people do listen when I talk mobile
I don’t try and speak too much but I try and speak when I feel it’s the right time mobile
“Jos Buttler and Motty have got a lot on their shoulders with it being a World Cup, so I try and help out as much as I can without stepping on their toes mobile
“I find myself just reminding everyone of certain things – reinforcing what they are, who they are, what they’ve achieved in the game, how talented and how good they are at this sport mobile
”And when it comes to Saturday’s high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, his mission statement is clear: “If we’re going to go down, let’s go down doing what we’re known for mobile
“Let’s not be timid or restricted in what we want to do mobile
We want to go out and show the opposition what England is and what we’ve been known for mobile
We are double world champions in T20 and 50-over cricket mobile
“You hear me say it a lot – I don’t care if we lose, I just want us to go out there and play in the way we talk about mobile
”Stokes’ return means difficult decisions will need to be taken over the composition of the XI, with his stand-in Harry Brook having made a strong case for retention mobile
A rebalancing of the side may be necessary, with all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes proving an unconvincing engine room so far mobile
