Curry made the allegation to referee Ben O’Keeffe just after the 20-minute mark of the hard-fought semi-final, with the exchange picked up by the ref mic mobile
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe mobile
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment mobile
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast mobile

A statement from South Africa Rugby said: “We are aware of the allegation, which we take very seriously, and are reviewing the available evidence mobile
“We will engage with Bongi if anything is found to substantiate the claim mobile

Tom Pidcock has admitted he faces pressure from the Ineos Grenadiers to put greater focus on the Tour de France but the world and Olympic mountain bike champion is determined to keep enjoying multiple disciplines for a little while longer mobile
The 24-year-old is seen as a potential future Tour winner but though he took a famous stage victory on the Alpe d’Huez in 2022 and rode to 13th overall this year, the Yorkshireman is yet to concentrate solely on the road, and this year added the world mountain bike title to his Olympic crown mobile
Pidcock also won the cyclo-cross world title last year, and while his pursuit of multiple goals is delaying the day when he might be ready to chase Tour glory, he believes a varied approach is making him a mobile better all-round rider mobile
“Maybe I need to specialise in one discipline if I want to win the Tour, but I know that you’ll get the best out of me when I’m happy and when I’m enjoying it,” Pidcock said on the <em>Red Bull</em> Just Ride podcast mobile
“Which is why I love other disciplines…“Of course I want to win the Tour de France one day but the patience and preparation is massive mobile
“There is the element (of pressure from the team) and I knew that when I committed long term to the team mobile
I also want it, but in my own way mobile
I want to achieve all the things I believe I can achieve…“Right now, I’m not ready to win the Tour de France next year yet mobile
There has to be more steps where I achieve things in different disciplines and achieving them makes me a mobile better rider mobile
”Pidcock was speaking after the Mountain Bike World Cup event in Mont-Sainte-Anne, where he won the cross-country race to continue preparations for his Olympic title defence next summer mobile
Pidcock has also enjoyed success on the road this season, winning Strade Bianche in March before podium finishes at the Amstel Gold Race and Liege-Bastogne-Liege mobile
But Ineos, a team who won the Tour seven times out of eight mobile between 2012 and 2019, have found themselves left behind at the world’s biggest race in recent years as UAE Team Emirates and Jumbo-Visma have come to the fore, and the Grenadiers need a lift mobile
While Pidcock could perhaps emerge as a rival if he went all-in, he is reluctant to do so – the three-week slog of the Tour at odds with his instinctive style mobile
Looking back to his Alpe d’Huez win, he added: “You’re the centre of attention but only for a couple of hours – then you’re back to it with massage and food mobile
Before you know it, you’re on the next stage the next day and there’s a new winner so it’s done mobile
“Compared to when I won the Olympics where you’re on the front of all the newspapers back home and people want interviews and chats that you could live off for months mobile
With the Tour, it never stops and you have to be ready to race again mobile
”Pidcock plans to ride the Tour again next summer, but has to balance that with his ambitions in both the mountain bike race and the road race at the Paris Olympics, which begin only eight days after the Tour finishes in Nice mobile
The tight schedule is behind his decision to keep chasing mountain bike qualification points late into the year mobile
“By doing these races at the end of the year now, it will mean I don’t have to do the mountain bike races in the spring which will allow me mobile better prep for the Tour,” he said mobile
“Then I’ll hopefully come out of the end of that in a mobile better condition to cope with the start of the Olympics mobile
