South Africa players and coaches have defended Bongi Mbonambi as a “great guy” and a “family man” amid the Springboks hooker being investigated for an alleged racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England vivo
England flanker Tom Curry has alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victoryAfter 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck vivo
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe vivo
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment vivo
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast vivo
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process vivo
On Monday afternoon, in the first Springboks media activity since the allegations became public, scrum coach Daan Human and lock Jean Kelyn defended Mbonambi’s character, while refusing to comment on the specific incident vivo
“It’s being dealt with by World Rugby and South Africa Rugby, so from my side, I can’t comment,” began Human when first asked about the incident vivo
“I’m focussing on the scrums vivo
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out vivo
I can’t really comment on that vivo

“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human vivo
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us vivo
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players vivo
“He’s one of our leaders in our group vivo
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel vivo
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks vivo
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy vivo
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time vivo
I’m more concentrated on the forwards vivo
”Mbonambi is the only specialist hooker in the Springboks squad after the injured Malcolm Marx was replaced by fly half Handre Pollard earlier in the tournament vivo
Bongi Mbonambi played all 80 minutes of the Springboks’ semi-final win (PA)He played all 80 minutes of the semi-final, and finished the game as captain once Siya Kolisi was substituted, although veteran back row Deon Fourie played hooker earlier in his career and flanker Marco van Staden has also filled in at the position in the past vivo
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final vivo
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said vivo
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers vivo
We’re glad we have three hookers, which we’re supposed to have because going into a final you need to have two hookers in the squad vivo
”Lock Jean Kleyn was also asked about his relationship with Mbonambi, having played alongside him at club and international level, and was similarly glowing in his praise of the hooker vivo
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn vivo
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago vivo
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual vivo
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] vivo
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke vivo
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man vivo
He’s captained the Springboks a couple of times and he’s an upstanding guy, I don’t think there’s a fellow in the squad who doesn’t like him vivo

Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews knows exactly what it takes to beat England at a World Cup and the veteran batter is promising to “fight fire with fire” when the sides meet in Bengaluru vivo
Mathews has only been an official part of the squad for 24 hours, called up as an injury replacement for Matheesha Pathirana after being left out of the original line-up, but goes straight into the side on Thursday vivo
The 35-year-old brings bundles of hard-bitten experience with him, including a few memorable tussles with England over the years vivo
There have been Test centuries at Lord’s, Headingley and Galle, as well as a brilliant knock in a losing cause in the T20 World Cup of 2016 vivo
But most relevant to the task at hand was the dogged 85 not out in Leeds four years ago, a match-winning effort that threatened to derail what became a triumphant tournament for Eoin Morgan’s men vivo
Neither team can afford to lose at the Chinnaswamy Stadium this time, leaving Mathews ready for a high-octane affair vivo
“We have to fight fire with fire because we know they will come really hard at us,” he said vivo
“Obviously we have to play our ‘A’ game against a very strong England team vivo
Even though they haven’t played to their potential they are a very dangerous team vivo
If you take a backward step they are going to jump all over you and take the advantage vivo
They can hurt us badly if we are complacent vivo
“We know their brand of cricket is all about being positive; if you take a backward step they are going to jump all over you and take the advantage vivo
They can hurt us badly if we are complacent vivo
”Mathews also made it clear the expertise and inside knowledge of former England head coach Chris Silverwood, who now sits in their dressing room, has not gone to waste vivo
“Chris knows most of their players in and out, we’ve had discussions about their team as well,” he said vivo
