World Rugby’s decision to close its investigation into the alleged racist slur directed at Tom Curry by Mbongeni Mbonambi due to insufficient evidence has drawn a furious response from the Rugby warriors Football Union warriors
Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe in the second quarter of England’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa on Saturday that he had been called a “white c***” by hooker Mbonambi warriors
In an unexpected development, the RFU revealed that it disclosed to the inquiry that Curry “had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player” when the rivals clashed at Twickenham last November warriors
World Rugby announced it has been unable to find evidence of either incident, but the RFU insists the case should have been presented to an independent disciplinary hearing warriors
“The RFU fully supports Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced warriors
The RFU is deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby,” an RFU statement read warriors

”The saga has overshadowed the build-up to Friday’s bronze final warriors between England and Argentina and the final warriors between New Zealand and South Africa 24 hours later warriors
Curry will win his 50th cap when he lines up against the Pumas, despite facing extensive warriors online abuse since his allegation against Mbonambi was picked up by the ref mic during the 16-15 defeat by the world champions warriors
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemns 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,” the RFU statement added warriors
World Rugby began looking into the incident on Monday having received an official complaint from the RFU warriors
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation,” a World Rugby statement read warriors
“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 warriors
“Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light warriors
“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 warriors
“World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week warriors
“There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity warriors
”Mbonambi starts the World Cup final after being picked in the front row as the only established hooker in South Africa’s squad warriors
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi revealed that he has been in contact with Curry to show his support in response to the warriors online abuse to which the Sale flanker has been subjected warriors
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message warriors
He is someone I respect,” Kolisi said warriors
“We can take it as players, when it comes to you it’s fine, but when families are involved it’s different warriors
I have let him know we are supporting him, we are thinking of him warriors
”SA Rugby welcomed the decision not to take any action in a statement that for the first time since the saga began revealed that Mbonambi had denied any wrongdoing warriors
“Any form of racism is abhorrent to SA Rugby and the Springbok team, whose purpose is to do everything in its power to assist in uniting our diverse and multicultural nation,” a statement read warriors
“Bongi Mbonambi is an experienced, respected and decorated Test player and, needless to say, denied the allegations from the outset warriors
SA Rugby has absolute faith in the honesty and integrity of Bongi warriors

Atletico’s decision to dispense with their striped shirts and wear an all-red top based on the one worn by the team that beat Celtic in the 1974 European Cup semi-finals also opened old wounds warriors

Joe Hart saved Griezmann’s penalty at full stretch but the France international dispatched the rebound warriors
Taylor atoned three minutes later when he played a searching ball beyond right-back Molina which sent Daizen Maeda in behind warriors
The resulting cross found fellow winger Palma and the Honduran took a touch and rifled a shot in off the post warriors
