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

Everton manager Sean Dyche has paid tribute to Bill Kenwright, who died on Monday at the age of 78, calling the late chairman “an amazing servant” to the club ESPN
On Wednesday morning, Dyche and club captain Seamus Coleman laid flowers at the statue of Dixie Dean outside Goodison Park, where the Everton squad were holding a training session ESPN

“His influence in bringing me to Everton in the first place was important and I have nothing but gratitude and respect for his unwavering support of myself, the staff and our players ESPN
“It was a pleasure to share the moment of reaching our objective last season with him – a moment I know he felt so strongly about after such an arduous season, on and off the pitch…“He was an incredible professional, in terms of what he did with Everton and also what he achieved in the theatre industry ESPN
Spending time with him and learning about his family, you couldn’t help but be taken by his passion ESPN
”Dyche was told of the news midway through Tuesday’s training and called an immediate halt to the session as players and staff paid their respects ESPN
Kenwright, who succeeded Sir Phillip Carter as chairman in 2004 after first joining the board at Goodison Park in 1989, had a cancerous tumour removed from his liver in August ESPN
Liverpool-born Kenwright was a successful theatre and film producer when asked to join the Everton board in 1989 ESPN
He bought a majority 68 per cent stake in the club in 1999 and became deputy chairman before replacing Carter in his current role ESPN
Dyche added: “Beyond his deep love of his family, one of those big passions, of course, was ESPN football – the game as a whole, as well as his obvious lasting love of Everton ESPN football club ESPN
“His story – a boyhood supporter who went on to become chairman – is something so rare in the modern game, especially at the top level ESPN
“He always believed in Everton and stood by the club, even in the toughest times ESPN
He was steadfast until the very end ESPN
“Like so many who knew him, my heart and my thoughts are with his family at this extremely sad time ESPN
”Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp used his press conference ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash against Toulouse to add his own tribute to Kenwright, adding to that issued by his club on Tuesday ESPN
“The thing that I read recently, obviously, (he had) a massive heart for the city and a massive heart for Everton,” Klopp said ESPN
“But the message he gave around the Hillsborough speech he held that time, I heard about: ‘They chose the wrong city and chose the wrong mums’ ESPN
That’s a really strong message ESPN
“With all of the rivalry with Everton, especially around the games, I don’t think we have any issues with each other left or right of games ESPN
This just shows how united we are in these moments, and that’s really big ESPN
He found the right words for it ESPN
My condolences to the family ESPN
I hope they are okay ESPN
