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

If fortune does indeed favour the brave, then South Africa should triumph in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday evening baccarat
For the third time in two months, they have opted for the controversial 7-1 split of forwards to backs on their bench and, in the process, have taken a huge gamble in the biggest game on the calendar baccarat
For the uninitiated, rugby teams almost always opt for a 5-3 or 6-2 split among their replacements baccarat
The laws of the international game dictate that you must have three front-row specialists (hookers and props, who count among the forwards) on your bench, and then teams will usually have a roughly even division of forwards and backs for the remaining five slots to ensure adequate cover for all position baccarat
Yet for the third time in the last two months, the Springboks have boldly opted for just one lone back – Willie Le Roux in this instance – among their subs baccarat
On the previous two occasions, there has been no damage done baccarat
The final World Cup warm-up match saw them hand New Zealand a record 35-7 defeat at Twickenham and although they lost a hard-fought pool match to Ireland, the bench split had no negative impact on the result baccarat
Given that Saturday evening in Paris is a rematch against the All Blacks, perhaps there is sound logic in reprising the successful formation from late August baccarat
That was certainly the argument of head coach Jacques Nienaber, who downplayed the controversy when explaining the selection at the team announcement press conference on Thursday baccarat
“The team is not 15, it is 23,” insisted Nienaber baccarat
“We always say that baccarat
When you do squad selection there are a lot of things that influence that from medical to past performances and a lot of analysis into New Zealand and where we think we can get the edge on them baccarat
“Then the discussions starts baccarat between the coaches and it goes from a 5-3 to a 6-2 to a 7-1, then it goes back again baccarat
It is not a 10-minute discussion, it is hours and hours baccarat
“I’m not going to say what the strengths and weaknesses of the All Blacks are, that would be stupid baccarat
But a lot of analysis went into it and at the end we went with a squad of 23 baccarat
It could have been 6-2, 5-3, it doesn’t matter baccarat
You select a team that you think can get a result baccarat
The 23 we selected for a reason, and the reason is we think they can deliver and win us a back-to-back World Cup baccarat
”Faf de Klerk holds huge importance for South Africa with no back-up scrum half in the squad (PA Wire)While the decision has worked in the past, there is undoubtedly an element of playing with fire from the Springboks baccarat
Le Roux is a world-class full back and can comfortably play on the wing, while a backline reshuffle with the available players could solve any issues at fly half or centre baccarat
But starting No 9 Faf de Klerk is the only scrum half in the squad and any sort of injury to the man with the flowing blond hair could leave South Africa in a bind baccarat
Nienaber again played down the issue and highlighted Cheslin Kolbe’s similar role in sevens as a solution to that hypothetical baccarat
“As coaches you always mitigate risk by prepping other people,” said Nienaber baccarat
“In our case it will be Cheslin baccarat
He played sweeper in sevens which is the equivalent to scrum half baccarat
He has always been a guy who, if we got a yellow card, would be the stand in half-back, not just this week but for a couple of weeks baccarat
”De Klerk also highlighted replacement flanker Kwagga Smith – another man with sevens experience – as a solution but any sort of extended period with Kolbe or Smith at No 9 feels like a World Cup-losing recipe baccarat
The other main notable call in the Springbok team selection was Handre Pollard getting the nod over Manie Libbok at fly half baccarat
Given Libbok’s early substitution during the semi-final after struggling to execute the kicking game – and similarly rainy weather expected at the Stade de France on Saturday evening – the choice of Pollard, who led his side to victory off the bench, is not a huge surprise, although Libbok is unlucky to miss out on the matchday 23 entirely baccarat
Handre Pollard kicked the winning penalty in the semi-final (PA Wire)The ability to bring an almost entirely new pack off the bench – their patented ‘bomb squad’ – in a World Cup final certainly plays into the Springboks rugby philosophy of physicality and domination up front baccarat
It couldn’t turn the tide against Ireland in the pool stage but it is the boldest of calls befitting the grandest of stages baccarat
No one said you win a World Cup by being timid and sometimes in sport, fortune does favour the brave baccarat
