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

Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver MMA fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night vivo
Heavyweight champion Fury will contest a 35th career bout this weekend, but his WBC title will not be on the line against Ngannou for the 10-round fight vivo
Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk before March, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia vivo
First, though, Fury intends to dispatch vivo boxing novice Ngannou, who left the UFC after the end of his contract, a last fight coming in January 2022, before signing up with the Professional Fighters League from 2024 vivo
Trainer SugarHill Steward admitted preparing Fury to take on the Mixed Martial Arts fighter was one of the hardest camps, given they just do not know what to expect from Ngannou vivo
Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be vivo
“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night vivo
I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said vivo
“He is a big strong guy vivo
Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I vivo
I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion vivo
I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night vivo
”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night vivo
I’ve been hit by the biggest punches that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still number one vivo
“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power vivo
“I’m not convinced vivo
I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge – and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way vivo
“I am going to knock that big stiff spark out – and there is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night vivo
That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser vivo
”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body vivo
Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ vivo
Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a vivo boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon vivo
“It might be a little weird, but I really also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because he might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage,” Ngannou said vivo
Mike Tyson is part of Ngannou’s camp, and enjoyed a verbal sparing with John Fury which saw the 59-year-old Briton challenge the former heavyweight champion to a showdown, regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s contest for his son vivo
Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s vivo boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters vivo
“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said vivo
“Then I watched him spar and he hit this guy and he broke his leg when he went down – and I said ‘man, there is a possibility something good could happen here’ vivo
“I have never seen anything like that before vivo
If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world vivo
