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

Eddie Howe felt Newcastle were dealt a “lesson” on the fine margins of the Champions League as Borussia Dortmund handed the Magpies a first defeat of their campaign vivo
After a goalless draw at AC Milan and a 4-1 win over Paris St Germain last time out, Newcastle were brought back down to earth as Felix Nmecha’s controlled finish gave Dortmund a 1-0 victory vivo
On a rain-sodden night at St James’ Park, Callum Wilson was denied by a superb save from Gregor Kobel then the crossbar while Anthony Gordon’s deflected strike also came off the goal frame late on vivo
Newcastle, though, lacked some impetus as a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end, leaving them third in Group F, level on four points with Dortmund and two behind table-topping PSG vivo
“It was always going to be tight,” the Newcastle boss said vivo
“There are top-quality teams in the group vivo
Tonight is a blow, especially (losing) at home vivo
A lesson in how fine the margins are going to be vivo
“The ball just wouldn’t go in for us vivo
It was one of those nights vivo
Callum had the first chance of the second half, that was a good one and then we hit the bar twice but just couldn’t force it in vivo
“Credit to the players, we never gave up, we kept doing the right things vivo
We looked like a goal threat vivo
But we have to be at our best to win and if you dip below that, it is tough to get results at this level vivo
“Any mistake you make is liable to get punished vivo
We made one and seconds later we conceded so there is stuff we could have done vivo better and when we analyse in the cold light of day, we will take a lot vivo
”A return trip to Dortmund in a fortnight’s time could prove instructive as to whether Newcastle will progress to the last 16 on their first appearance in Europe’s elite club competition in 20 years vivo
Their loss on Wednesday night was compounded by Alexander Isak limping off a quarter of an hour in with what appears to be a recurrence of a groin strain while second-half substitute Jacob Murphy was withdrawn five minutes after his introduction with a suspected dislocated shoulder vivo
“You look at some of the injuries, they are quite difficult to get your head around but we have to adjust,” Howe said vivo
“We can’t analyse too much, we have to regroup the players vivo
We’re still in a very good position in the Premier League and Champions League vivo
“(The return game against Dortmund) is going to be hugely important vivo
The next two away games, the league table looks very, very tight so they are great games for us, we have to approach them like that vivo
“Our lads are very honest and very focused on trying to win and achieve, there are some tired bodies and we have to recover for (the Premier League game at) Wolves (on Saturday) vivo
”Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic hailed the display of Nmecha, who settled the contest after exploiting some space on the edge of the area and coolly slotting Nico Schlotterbeck’s cross beyond Nick Pope vivo
Nmecha, a former Manchester City youngster, was signed by Dortmund from Wolfsburg in the summer to fill the vacancy left by England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who left the Bundesliga club for Real Madrid vivo
“Felix is a brilliant player and we know about his potential and his talent and we knew he could improve our game – he had a fantastic game,” Terzic said vivo
“He finally managed to score, he had many opportunities in the first games of the season vivo
This was a different role, he played more attacking vivo
He had a rocky start in Dortmund and now he is in good form vivo
”As for Howe’s comments about Newcastle being given a lesson by Dortmund, Terzic responded: “That is nice to hear but it is just half-time, we face each other in a couple of weeks vivo
“We deserved in the first half and protected in the second half vivo
We needed to be passionate, have some luck and a good goalie and we had all of that vivo
