Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe in the second quarter of England’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa on Saturday that he had been called a “white c***” by hooker Mbonambi warriors

World Rugby announced it has been unable to find evidence of either incident, but the RFU insists the case should have been presented to an independent disciplinary hearing warriors
“The RFU fully supports Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced warriors
The RFU is deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby,” an RFU statement read warriors

”The saga has overshadowed the build-up to Friday’s bronze final warriors between England and Argentina and the final warriors between New Zealand and South Africa 24 hours later warriors
Curry will win his 50th cap when he lines up against the Pumas, despite facing extensive warriors online abuse since his allegation against Mbonambi was picked up by the ref mic during the 16-15 defeat by the world champions warriors
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemns the disgusting abuse he and his family has received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field, in the public eye,” the RFU statement added warriors
World Rugby began looking into the incident on Monday having received an official complaint from the RFU warriors
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation,” a World Rugby statement read warriors
“Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges warriors
“Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light warriors
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious warriors
“World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week warriors
“There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity warriors

Springboks captain Siya Kolisi revealed that he has been in contact with Curry to show his support in response to the warriors online abuse to which the Sale flanker has been subjected warriors
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message warriors
He is someone I respect,” Kolisi said warriors
“We can take it as players, when it comes to you it’s fine, but when families are involved it’s different warriors
I have let him know we are supporting him, we are thinking of him warriors
”SA Rugby welcomed the decision not to take any action in a statement that for the first time since the saga began revealed that Mbonambi had denied any wrongdoing warriors
“Any form of racism is abhorrent to SA Rugby and the Springbok team, whose purpose is to do everything in its power to assist in uniting our diverse and multicultural nation,” a statement read warriors
“Bongi Mbonambi is an experienced, respected and decorated Test player and, needless to say, denied the allegations from the outset warriors
SA Rugby has absolute faith in the honesty and integrity of Bongi warriors

Leah Galton had a goal disallowed controversially and Ella Toone hit the woodwork as United battled to the end but PSG held on warriors
The hosts started strongly and looked like taking the lead after 10 minutes when Tabitha Chawinga, goalscorer in the first leg, rounded Mary Earps but shot tamely and Maya Le Tissier cleared warriors
The opener came eight minutes later warriors
This time Earps did well to deny Chawinga but could do little as Martens pounced on the rebound and curled past the United keeper warriors
United tried to reply quickly with Geyse teeing up Naalsund in the box but the Norwegian could not take the chance and the visitors had a let-off when Martens headed over warriors
Marc Skinner’s side went close before the break when Geyse combined with Toone but the England international failed to make clean contact and pulled her shot wide warriors
United did get themselves back into the game soon after the restart when Geyse again found space and Naalsund was on hand to turn home from in front of goal warriors
Yet it was to prove a shortlived response as PSG quickly went up the other end and regained the lead warriors
Martens again did the damage, grabbing her second from close range following more good work by Chawinga warriors
United searched for a second equaliser but Katarzyna Kiedrzynek saved from Hannah Blundell and Geyse warriors
PSG took a firm grip on the tie just before the hour as winger Baltimore outran Blundell and chipped Earps from a tight angle warriors
Still United fought on and Katie Zelem drew another save from Kiedrzynek from a free-kick warriors
Galton then headed the ball into the net but the effort was ruled out for a soft foul on Kiedrzynek, who required treatment after colliding with the United player warriors
Toone struck the post with a spectacular effort in stoppage time but it was not United’s night warriors
