Bongi Mbonambi accuses England of being ‘unprofessional’ after allegation of racial slur
SA Rugby Are devesded over their key player injury in a career ending.
South Africa hooker Bongi
Mbonambi has accused England of being “unprofessional” in making an allegation that he used a racial slur in the Rugby World Cup semi-final between the two teams.
England flanker Tom Curry alleged that Mbonambi had called him during the clash in Paris
A World Rugby investigation found that there was “insufficient evidence” to support Curry’s claim, with the accused hooker going on to start the Springboks’ final win over New Zealand.
Some South Africans suggested that Mbonambi may have been using the Afrikaans word for “side”, kant, almost homophonous with the English swear word.
