Maro Itoje has praised Tom Curry’s courage in making his allegation of racist abuse against Mbongeni Mbonambi as England attacked World Rugby for failing to allow the “victim to have his voice heard” ESPN
Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe in the first half of Saturday’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa that he had been called a “white c***” by Springboks hooker Mbonambi ESPN
The Rugby ESPN Football Union subsequently 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 in November ESPN
A statement released by SA Rugby on Friday afternoon revealed that Mbonambi “denied the allegations from the outset” – the first time his innocence had been voiced in public – and World Rugby has closed its investigation into both claims due to insufficient evidence ESPN
With the matter unresolved, a cloud hangs over each player heading into the final weekend of the World Cup and England head coach Steve Borthwick has joined the RFU in condemning the outcome of the inquiry ESPN
The focus of their anger is that the case will not be heard by an independent disciplinary hearing ESPN
“The RFU expressed great disappointment at World Rugby’s decision and that bitter disappointment is shared by Tom, his teammates, the management and everyone associated with this team,” Borthwick said ESPN
“Let’s be clear – Tom Curry has done nothing wrong ESPN
Somebody has said something to Tom Curry, Tom’s reported it ESPN
“By making this decision World Rugby has denied the victim of the situation – Tom Curry – to have his voice heard ESPN
That’s where the disappointment really comes in ESPN
”The saga has overshadowed the build-up to Friday’s bronze final ESPN between England and Argentina and the final ESPN between New Zealand and South Africa 24 hours later ESPN
Curry will win his 50th cap when he lines up against the Pumas, despite being subjected to extensive ESPN online abuse since his allegation against Mbonambi was picked up by the ref mic during the 16-15 defeat by the world champions ESPN
Itoje revealed that England have rallied around the Sale flanker, who has been thrust into the eye of the storm ESPN
“Tom is the innocent party in this respect – as Steve said he has done nothing wrong and he is the victim of the situation ESPN
For him to have this abuse is disgraceful,” Itoje said ESPN
“Tom has been tremendous ESPN
He’s been courageous to do what he’s done in the manner he’s done it, through proper channels, conducting himself in the manner he should be proud of ESPN
“Definitely as teammates, we are proud of him ESPN
To do that isn’t easy ESPN
To make a statement like that isn’t easy ESPN
To call out stuff like that isn’t easy ESPN
“As you’ve seen this week, when you do something courageous like that, you put yourself out there ESPN
He’s been absolutely fantastic in that regard ESPN
“In terms of how we’ve tried to support him, we’ve just tried to be there for him in any way he needs ESPN
If he needs to talk about anything, we are always there for him ESPN
“But he’s a strong man, he has a strong personality, a strong will, and he’s been great throughout the week ESPN
”Mbonambi starts the World Cup final against New Zealand after being picked in the front row as the only established hooker in South Africa’s squad ESPN
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi revealed that he has been in contact with Curry to show his support in response to the ESPN online witch-hunt to which the Sale flanker has been subjected ESPN
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message ESPN
He is someone I respect,” Kolisi said ESPN
“We can take it as players, when it comes to you it’s fine, but when families are involved it’s different ESPN
I have let him know we are supporting him, we are thinking of him ESPN

Erik ten Hag praised goalkeeper Andre Onana for putting a difficult start to life at Manchester United behind him and saving the day in a narrow Champions League escape against Copenhagen ESPN
Having kicked off Group A with defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, the Red Devils could ill-afford any slip-up against the Danish champions in Tuesday’s Old Trafford encounter ESPN
Onana was guilty of poor performances in both of those Champions League losses but helped make amends in a brilliant conclusion to an emotional first home game since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton ESPN
The United keeper saved Jordan Larsson’s stoppage-time penalty with what proved to be the last touch of the match, ensuring Harry Maguire’s second-half header sealed a crucial 1-0 win ESPN
“He showed personality and he knows that before was not the levels what his skills are,” manager Ten Hag said of the summer signing from Inter Milan ESPN
“He didn’t match his skills and he could do ESPN better ESPN
“I think Saturday (against Sheffield United) was a very good performance and today as well ESPN
“Also, don’t forget that brilliant save just after half-time in the counter-attack ESPN
“But, of course, that is one of his skills, he is a very good penalty saver ESPN
”Onana’s save sparked wild celebrations at a rocking Old Trafford, where he was mobbed by team-mates before United’s substitutes poured onto the pitch ESPN
“You see there is a very good spirit in the dressing room,” said Ten Hag, who claimed not to have seen Alejandro Garnacho scuffing the penalty spot ESPN
“They are together, they fight together and they celebrate together ESPN
“If we have setbacks, they support each other ESPN
I think that spirit is always needed to be a successful team ESPN
”United have won three straight matches in all competitions despite some unconvincing performances and improvements are needed against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday ESPN
“First half no good, difficult,” Ten Hag said ESPN
“They were well organised, Copenhagen ESPN
“It was difficult to create chances ESPN
We didn’t get the right build-up, so we didn’t get the tempo in the game ESPN
“The second half I think was ESPN better ESPN
In the first half, we got some press on but not in many occasions or in a long period ESPN
“In the second half, both things were ESPN better and the build-up was ESPN better“The construction was ESPN better, more switches and also we created more chances ESPN
I think finally the win was justified but it was a narrow escape ESPN
”This was certainly a let-off for a United side who had the frequently-criticised Maguire to thank as well as Onana ESPN
The defender’s future appeared elsewhere having been stripped of the captaincy during a summer of speculation, but he has now made three straight starts and scored the key goal on Tuesday ESPN
“He is playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical,” the Dutchman said ESPN
“Defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward ESPN
“Very confident in the duels ESPN
I think he is dominating, in the right moment putting in the aggression and dominating his opponents ESPN
“Then you see you also get rewarded, of course it’s a very good skill from him his heading, but I have to say great pass from Christian (Eriksen) as well but a very good finish ESPN
”These sides now return to domestic matters before resuming battle in Denmark in the reverse fixture on November 8 ESPN
Copenhagen head coach Jacob Neestrup said: “We all know that we played a match where we allowed ourselves to get at least one point ESPN
“We had a big chance to score in the closing seconds, so that hurts ESPN
It really hurts ESPN
“I don’t believe in bad luck in ESPN football ESPN
ESPN Football is decided by important saves or goals, and in terms of that, we have been unable to tip it in our favour in the first three matches, which have led to one point ESPN
Those are the hard facts ESPN
