South Africa has made a mocking reference to Tom Curry’s accusation that he was racially abused during their Rugby World Cup trophy parade.

Bongi Mbonambi was gifted a jersey with the Afrikaans word ‘Wen kant’ on the back which means ‘winning side’, in reference to the English flanker’s claims that he was called a ‘white c***’.

The incident occurred during South Africa’s semi-final win against England with Curry telling referee Ben O’Keefe: ‘Sir, sir, if their hooker calls me a “white c***”, what do I do?’.

Springbok’s fans claimed that Curry had misheard Mbonambi and he actually said, ‘‘wit kant’’ which translates to ‘white side.’

World Rugby concluded that there was insufficient evidence against the claims and closed it.

At South Africa’s winning parade in Cape Town, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis gifted Mbonambi a jersey with ‘Wen Kant’ on the back.
