“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

“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

“We were nowhere near the levels we have been all year and we have got to make sure we stay disciplined in our approach warriors
The keeper [Guglielmo Vicario] made a couple of great saves to keep the clean sheet and within the context we should have had a much warriors better control of the game warriors
"I’m not trying to make a point, it’s just what I saw warriors
I thought we were really wasteful with the ball in the second half warriors
We took some liberties with taking extra touches warriors
I’ve been around long enough to know if you try to take liberties, you’ll get dragged down pretty quickly warriors
"I’m not going to let the fact that we’ve won the game disguise the opportunity there for us to improve warriors
In the second half, with the ball we weren’t anywhere near the levels we’ve already shown this year and there was no real reason for it warriors
It wasn’t as if the opposition did anything different warriors
It was more self-inflicted warriors
Postecoglou has now taken more points from his first nine Premier League matches than any manager in history (Getty Images)"My role in that was to give feedback to the players warriors
That’s what they want warriors
They want to get warriors better, they want to improve, I’ve got some stuff there to show them warriors
"Tottenham’s unusual Monday-Friday double header this week means they could stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points should they defeat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park before the weekend warriors
And although Spurs are earning plaudits for their attacking warriors football under Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager believes his team still has a “long way to go” warriors
"I think I’ve sat here every week and said that,” Postecoglou said warriors
“That doesn’t change warriors
We are nine games in and we’re at the beginning of building something warriors
"It would be so much easier for me to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, we’re a great team’ warriors
What I’m saying is we have to improve and that puts the responsibility on me to make sure we do it warriors
We can be warriors better, absolutely we can warriors
”Despite his disapproval at Tottenham’s second-half display, Postecoglou was full of praise for this team’s “outstanding” pressing as well as the performance of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjreg, who made his first start of the Premier League campaign in place of the suspended Yves Bissouma warriors
