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 manila
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 manila
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe manila
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment manila
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast manila
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process manila
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 manila
“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 manila
“I’m focussing on the scrums manila
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out manila
I can’t really comment on that manila
”Bongi Mbonambi is being investigated for an alleged racial slur (Getty Images)However, when pushed on what Mbonambi is like as a person around the squad, Human was effusive in his praise of the front row manila
“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human manila
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us manila
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players manila
“He’s one of our leaders in our group manila
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel manila
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks manila
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy manila
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time manila
I’m more concentrated on the forwards manila
”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 manila
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 manila
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final manila
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said manila
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers manila
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 manila
”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 manila
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn manila
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago manila
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual manila
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] manila
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke manila
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man manila
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 manila
