"World Rugby has undertaken a review of allegations made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language by South Africa’s Mbongeni Mbonambi during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday along with a further allegation brought forward in recent days about a previous match in the Autumn Nations Series 2022."
"Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation. 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. Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light." |  |

I thought that when I saw it happening in real time. According to the rules it’s not about the direction that the ball eventually ends up, it’s about the direction it’s travelling in as it leaves the hands. My personal view is that is a rubbish rule and forward is forward. |  | | |

I still think it was going forward.
Can you imagine that happening to one of the finalists tomorrow to score in the lady pet play of the game and to win the match. You’d never hear the end if it and understandably so. | |

Forward pass
Kick and rush |
Not a great game. All this kicking does my head in. Two big beefie teams, but not a huge amount of skill on display. Thought Argentina were marginally the better team. | | | |

I quite enjoyed it, Argies were a tad unlucky a few unfortunate knock on's in important areas of the pitch and a few penalty decisions that could have gone either way. |  |

Would love to see a Northern Hemisphere team win it. France or Ireland but I'm tipping the AB's. Hope I'm wrong! |
I could be right... I could be wrong.
Will be supporting the ABs tonight because they play decent Rugby. | | | |

I've been saying RSA will win from the start AND I HAVE met a nice South African, 3 in fact but they have all lived in this country for decades.
NZL are looking a bit shaky, if that yellow turns red are they in the do-do? | | | |

That's three more than me mate....just joking I just find them a little bit insular. However I could be wrong. To be fair they are playing a typical SA performance and doing it very well. | | | |

Most cynical jammy gits but deserved winners and I absolutely hate saying that. New Zealand are really a very ordinary side but most nations just bow down to their reputation. France really must be kicking themselves and Ireland too. | | | |

To win the quarter, semi and final by just 1 point shows how good and disciplined the SA defence is. | |
