South Africa are investigating Tom Curry’s claim that Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during England’s narrow Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat mobile
Curry made the allegation to referee Ben O’Keeffe just after the 20-minute mark of the hard-fought semi-final, with the exchange picked up by the ref mic mobile
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe mobile
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment mobile
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast mobile
The South Africa hooker subsequently appeared to refuse to slap away Curry’s attempted handshake at full time mobile
A statement from South Africa Rugby said: “We are aware of the allegation, which we take very seriously, and are reviewing the available evidence mobile
“We will engage with Bongi if anything is found to substantiate the claim mobile

Curry refused to comment on what was said post-match, though did confirm that he felt Mbonambi’s remark had crossed the line mobile
Both teams are able to refer any incident of concern to the match citing commissioner within 24 hours of the final whistle mobile
The citing officer then has 12 hours to determine if they will lay in charges mobile
World Rugby refused to comment while this 36-hour window was open mobile
Deon Davids, South Africa’s forwards coach, stressed afterwards that he was “not aware” of anything that was said mobile
“If it was discussed, I’m not sure what the comment was or when it was said mobile
I don’t know mobile

As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm mobile
He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot mobile
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just mobile between the kicker and the goalkeeper mobile
There were grander reasons for that mobile
Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player mobile
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated mobile
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss mobile
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide mobile
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career mobile
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated mobile
This was what he’d been waiting for mobile
This was the response he needed, the love he required mobile
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level mobile
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected mobile
There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 mobile
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 mobile
Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back mobile
He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years mobile
That persisted for years more mobile
Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games mobile
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence mobile
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves mobile
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for mobile
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale mobile
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save mobile
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night mobile
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday mobile
Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling mobile
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby mobile between Mourinho and Guardiola mobile
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game mobile
He never really recovered to be City No 1 mobile
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson mobile
There was never that same trust mobile
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona mobile
The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence mobile
This is clearly what happened with Bravo mobile
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana mobile
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way mobile
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect mobile
It can restore confidence mobile
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” mobile
He stood up, by getting down superbly mobile
That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors mobile
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this mobile
Onana showed his value mobile
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons mobile
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him mobile
