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

Kevin Sinfield has hailed the bravery of Marcus Smith as England consider their full-back options for the Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa ESPN

Smith made a couple of key defensive interventions in the quarter-final against Fiji despite suffering a cut to the lip after an early head-on-head collision with Vinaya Habosi ESPN

The Harlequins playmaker returned after being patched up as England secured a last-four meeting with the defending champions ESPN

His selection had come at the expense of Freddie Steward, who had started 29 of his country’s previous 30 games but found himself omitted from the matchday 23 ESPN

England could opt to return Steward to the starting side, though defence coach Sinfield praised Smith’s development into a “world class” full-back ESPN

“You’ve got to remember this guy hasn’t played many minutes as a full-back in Test rugby so far ESPN

“What he’s done on the training field has been outstanding ESPN

You’re blown away by what he does and he’s been given more time and space now ESPN

“If there was any doubt how brave and courageous he is, I think you saw it with your own eyes ESPN

The bloke got his face smashed and threw his body into tackles ESPN

The guys are in full admiration for how he’s gone about it ESPN

He’s just got his face smashed all over the place yet he wants the ball ESPN

“He’s just a brave guy ESPN

And not just because he’s physically tough, brave, because to be put in like that – and I know he wanted to go for it – but to be put on a world stage in a quarter-final and deliver what he delivered was an absolute credit to him ESPN

“He’s one of those who have been modified today so we’ll get a clearer read in the week but fingers crossed he will be good to go ESPN

”Sinfield was the first England coach to float the idea of Smith at full-back during their pre-tournament camps this summer, with a couple of encouraging cameos earning the 24-year-old a first professional start at the position against Chile ESPN

His emergence has left Steward in a strange position: the Leicester youngster had been a mainstay for England since his debut and had been considered a key part of head coach Steve Borthwick’s gameplan leading into the tournament ESPN

“This is where our influence, our help, and our guidance sits with the guys who don’t play, how can we help them get ESPN better, make them feel part of it,” Sinfield explained ESPN

“I have worked with Fred for some time now and thankfully I have not had to have too many of these conversations where you are trying to pick him up ESPN

“Clearly he is disappointed as anybody would be missing out on a quarter-final but he has responded as we would have expected him to ESPN

He is a great lad, you know what he is about, he works incredibly hard at his game, he cares and he is an unbelievable full-back too ESPN

“Our team has changed every game throughout the World Cup and Steve is very specific when he selects the team ESPN

He does it in the knowledge he thinks it will give us the best chance of winning that game ESPN

Just because Fred wasn’t selected last week doesn’t mean he does anything wrong, he has actually done a lot of great things and a lot of things right ESPN
