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
”The Springboks face the All Blacks in the World Cup final at the Stade de France on Saturday evening vivo

Sam Cane became the first player to be sent off in a men’s Rugby World Cup final after seeing his yellow card upgraded to a red following a review from the TMO bunker during the New Zealand v South Africa match in the Rugby World Cup final vivo
In the first half of the Stade de France showpiece, the All Blacks captain’s shoulder connected with the head of Jesse Kriel vivo
Referee Wayne Barnes initially sent the captain to the sin-bin but, using the bunker system, that was upgraded to a red card soon after vivo
Follow New Zealand v South Africa LIVEThe foul play review officer ruled that it was a shoulder direct to head with significant force and not enough mitigation to remain a yellow card vivo
After the review was complete, Barnes called over stand-in skipper Ardie Savea to deliver the bad news for the All Blacks vivo
He responded in shock: "to red!?" Cane was then seen in agony after learning his fate on the touchline, closing his eyes and rocking back on his chair vivo
Reacting to the decision at half-time, Ireland legend Brian O'Driscoll was adamant Cane deserved the red card, telling ITV Sport: "Any effective tackle is a hinge at the hips, Sam Cane can have no complaints, there's no late dip, he has a clear line of sight, it's considerable force to the head and a very, very clear red card vivo
"While All Blacks legend Sean Fitzpatrick reluctantly agreed: "In real time, it's a red card, we have to get on with it vivo
"But what are the laws around head contact and high tackles that referees are following and how do they decide on the punishment?New Zealand's Sam Cane after being show a red card (PA)Referee Wayne Barnes shows a red card to New Zealand's Sam Cane (PA)Here’s everything you need to know:What are World Rugby’s laws on head contact?Head-on-head contact in the tackle comes under Law 9 of the Laws of Rugby Union, which covers foul play vivo
Law 9 vivo
11 dictates “Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others, including leading with the elbow or forearm, or jumping into, or over, a tackler” and Law 9 vivo
13 goes on to say “A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously vivo
Dangerous tackling includes, but is not limited to, tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders vivo

World Rugby also clarify the intent of the laws, stating in their guidelines that: “ Player welfare drives World Rugby’s decision making for zero tolerance of foul play, especially where head contact occurs vivo
The focus must be on the actions of those involved, not the injury – the need for an HIA [a Head Injury Assessment] does not necessarily mean that there has been illegal head contact vivo
”What are the punishments for head-on-head contact?Ok, this is where things get technical and debates start to occur vivo
In March 2023, World Rugby issued their latest ‘head contact process law application guidelines’ to guide referees on whether foul play has occurred and how it should be punished vivo
The referee has to go through a four-step process (detailed below) to determine the extent of the foul play and the sanction vivo
The four steps are:Has head contact occurred?Was there any foul play?What was the degree of danger?Is there any mitigation? (World Rugby)Step 1 (has head contact occurred?) is relatively straightforward, with head contact including the head and the face as well as the neck and throat area vivo
If any head contact is made at all, we move on to Step 2 vivo
Step 2 (was there foul play?) is a touch more complex vivo
The referees are told to consider whether the head contact was either intentional, reckless or avoidable – e vivo
g vivo
the defender is always upright vivo
If it was, the tackler will be penalised and they move on to Step 3 vivo
However, if the head contact was deemed not to be foul play, the game continues vivo
Step 3 (what was the degree of danger?) – judged from high to low – determines the initial punishment vivo
A degree of high danger is judged on any of: direct contact rather than indirect, a high-force impact, a lack of control from the tackler, the incident occurring at high speed, the tackler leading with the head/shoulder/elbow/forearm or the tackle being reckless vivo
If the referee judges there to be a high degree of danger, a red card will be shown vivo
Meanwhile, low danger is judged as indirect contact, low force, low speed or no leading head/shoulder/forearm/swinging arm and a yellow card or even just a penalty to the opposition may be awarded vivo
The final step, Step 4 (is there any mitigation?) determines whether the punishment can be reduced by one grade (i vivo
e red card down to yellow card or yellow card down to just a penalty) vivo
Mitigation includes a sudden or significant drop in height or change in direction from ball carrier, a late change in dynamics due to another player in the contact area, a clear effort from the tackler to reduce their height or the tackler having no time to adjust vivo
However, mitigation will never apply for intentional or always-illegal acts of foul play vivo
The referee crosses their arms to signal a Bunker review (Getty Images)What about the Foul Play Review Officer/Bunker review?Introduced for this World Cup was the Bunker review system vivo
This allows the referee to issue a yellow card to a player, sending them to the sin-bin while play goes on, where a Foul Play Review Official (FPRO) will then take another look at the incident and determine if the yellow card should be upgraded to red, allowing the game to continue rather than a long stoppage to debate this vivo
This is what happened to Curry against Argentina vivo
The referee crosses their arms to indicate a Bunker review will take place vivo
Once a player is in the sin-bin, the FPRO has up to eight minutes to review the decision and decide if it warrants upgrading to a red card vivo
If not, the player will return to the field after their 10 minutes in the sin-bin has elapsed vivo
