Rugby player Mbonambi wanted to be disqualified for racism against an Englishman
Black rugby player from the South African national team Bongi Mbonambi was accused of racism at the World Cup. The Sun reports this.
According to the source, English player Tom Curry complained about insults from a South African, who allegedly called his opponent “white *******” during the semi-final of the tournament, and wanted to punish the rugby player. If the violation is confirmed, Mbonambi faces disqualification.
World Rugby has declined to comment at this time. The organization prohibits any insults based on religion, race, nationality or ethnicity.
The meeting between the national teams of South Africa and England took place at the Stade de France and ended in victory for the South Africans with a score of 16:15. It is noted that Mbonambi also did not shake Curry’s hand after the match.
The World Cup final will take place on October 28 and will begin at 22:00 Moscow time. In the decisive match, South Africa will meet New Zealand.
