England insist Tom Curry is ready for Friday’s World Cup bronze final as squad and management rally around the flanker caught in a racism storm baccarat
World Rugby is investigating an allegation made by Curry that he was racially abused by South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi in the first half of Saturday’s semi-final defeat baccarat
Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe that he was called a “white c***” by Mbonambi and, after a complaint made by the Rugby baccarat Football Union, audio and video footage is being examined for evidence baccarat
If the 25-year-old is picked against Argentina on Friday night it will be his 50th cap and attack coach Richard Wigglesworth is confident the alleged incident will not be a disruption as England prepare to sign off their World Cup baccarat
“Tom is good baccarat
I know players will have got around him baccarat
Steve and the management team have been all over it baccarat
I’m sure he’s getting every bit of support that he needs,” Wigglesworth said baccarat
“I’m not sure you can ever put yourself in those shoes and know that feeling baccarat
What I do know is he’s an impressive young man who, if selected on Friday, will pour everything into that England shirt as he has done on the previous 49 occasions baccarat
“It will be dealt with by World Rugby baccarat
We get stuck into our prep for Argentina baccarat
The process is the process and we have no knowledge of how long that will go on for or the outcome, but we have to get ready for Argentina baccarat
“Every week there is always some sort of thing you could be distracted by baccarat
It’s international rugby, there’s a lot you could be distracted by baccarat
You want to be in situations where there are distractions baccarat
“This distraction is different, but it’s still noise that isn’t about Friday night, our prep and our desire to finish in the right way baccarat
“World Rugby has been pretty vocal in following up things in the past and they need to do the same again baccarat
”Tom is good baccarat
I know players will have got around him baccarat
Steve and the management team have been all over itRichard WigglesworthWigglesworth’s words were echoed by Ben Earl, England’s player of the World Cup who started the last two matches in the same back row as the Sale openside baccarat
“Tom’s a brilliant team-mate, a brilliant friend of mine baccarat
He’s also an incredibly resilient guy,” Earl said baccarat
“He gives his all for the team and I know he’s going to be doing that this weekend baccarat
I hope it all gets resolved very quickly baccarat
”Wigglesworth was unable to shed any light on a report that defence coach Kevin Sinfield will leave England after the World Cup by mutual consent baccarat
England’s defence has improved markedly during the tournament in France and they only conceded one try to world champions South Africa baccarat
“There’s nothing that I’ve been aware of from Kevin, so it’s a hard one to comment on because it’s not me who the story is about,” Wigglesworth said baccarat
“Hopefully there’s not much in it baccarat
I’m sure that post-World Cup and down the line we’ll find out if there is baccarat
“He’s a close ally of mine from Leicester baccarat
We were two guys who lived away from the club so we travelled and stayed over baccarat
“I spent a lot of time with him, and even more time with him through this whole process baccarat
“I’m very close to him so I’m probably incredibly biased about what Kev brings but I’m sure the lads in the environment will tell you that he gives absolutely everything baccarat
“He’s had a big impact on individuals and gives up a lot of his time to help baccarat
We know he’s that sort of person and he’s done an exceptional job of doing it baccarat

Not always in sport do you get a shot at redemption and successfully taking advantage of that opportunity is even rarer baccarat
England’s pack, and their front row in particular, will have had four years of sleepless nights about that early November evening in 2019 baccarat
In the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, England were decimated by South Africa’s power up front, as the brilliance of a scintillating semi-final win over New Zealand was quickly replaced by the humiliation of a 32-12 thumping baccarat
The Springboks, then as now, pride themselves on their physicality and brutality at the breakdown, the set-piece and in open play baccarat
Yet on a rainy night in Paris four years on, England’s pack fronted up, set the platform in a thrilling World Cup semi-final and earned their redemption arc baccarat
Yet it still wasn’t enough baccarat
This time, albeit by one point rather than 20, the result was the same – England’s players slumped on the turf in despair while their opponents revelled in victory baccarat
The Springbok celebrations were more muted this time, understandably so given there is one more crucial match against the All Blacks standing baccarat between them and their ultimate goal, but the English heartbreak was the same, even if the journey to get there was vastly different baccarat
In Yokohama, South Africa won a scarcely believable 11 scrums to England’s three, including six scrum penalties, as the English eight were splintered time and again baccarat
Dan Cole became the fall guy for that embarrassment – the tighthead prop, supposedly renowned for his scrummaging, forced to play 77 minutes after Kyle Sinckler’s early injury and being obliterated by the combination of Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira and Steven Kitshoff baccarat
The fact that Cole and Joe Marler, who came off the bench early in the second half that day, were selected by Steve Borthwick to start this revenge game precisely because of their scrum prowess will have surely given them a surge of confidence baccarat
And the fact they not only survived, but thrived, in the front row this time around will have been sheer vindication baccarat
Borthwick entrusted the duo to paint an early picture of scrum parity to referee Ben O’Keeffe and they delivered, providing the base that led to multiple first-half penalties from the trusty boot of Owen Farrell baccarat

As Sinckler and Ellis Genge came on as prop replacements, the Springboks own bomb squad from the bench – led by Ox Nche and Vincent Koch – started to dominate at scrum-time baccarat
Each engagement started to become eerily reminiscent of 2019 and it was eventually a scrum penalty on halfway that led to Handre Pollard’s decisive, game-winning three-pointer with two minutes to go baccarat
It felt almost unfair on England’s big men given that the pack, as a whole, had more than held their own in other facets baccarat
Of the 13 England forwards who played some part in that 2019 final, eight appeared in this last-four clash and stamped their mark all over a first half that was by far England’s best 40 minutes under Borthwick baccarat
Maro Itoje was a lineout fiend, stealing a Springboks throw-in on halfway and putting doubt in the head of Bongi Mbonambi, whose crooked throw in his own 22 gave Farrell his first penalty goal of the day baccarat
A new face from four years, George Martin, justified his surprise second-row selection ahead of incumbent Ollie Chessum on just his fourth Test start as he brilliantly marshalled England’s maul defence baccarat
If Boks lock Eben Etzebaccarat beth is world rugby’s best maul disruptor, then he may have witnessed first-hand the emergence of a new challenger to that crown baccarat
Martin caused havoc as England improbably won three consecutive maul turnovers from attacking South African lineouts in the first half to frustrate their much-fancied opponents baccarat
Pollard ultimately kicked the winning penalty, from a scrum infringement (PA Wire)The celebrations from the likes of Itoje, Jamie George and Ben Earl as those penalties and free-kicks were earned by the pack showed just how important this part of the gameplan was baccarat
It began putting clear doubt in Springbok minds, as the worried tone from skipper Siya Kolisi when he discussed matter with referee O’Keeffe baccarat betrayed baccarat
The English tactic of throwing bodies in to contest every ruck relied on the diesel engines of the forwards and they delivered by dominating collisions and allowing the aerial bombardment strategy that followed to be effective baccarat
But ultimately, despite a gameplan executed as well as it possibly could have been, the gap in quality baccarat between the sides proved too much to overcome baccarat
South Africa adjusted, Pollard came on for Manie Libbok to dictate proceedings with his metronomic boot and English heartbreak ensued baccarat
There was no shame in a one-point defeat from a semi-final that was much closer than most expected and England’s pack should feel redeemed from the nightmare of 2019 baccarat
But that won’t make this semi-final hurt any less baccarat
Perhaps 2027 will give them an opportunity to avenge a new pain baccarat
