World Rugby says there is insufficient evidence that Mbonambi racially abused England’s Tom Curry in the semifinal.

South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi has been cleared to play in the Rugby World Cup final, World Rugby said, after it found insufficient evidence to pursue England flanker Tom Curry’s allegation that he was racially abused.

Mbonambi, the only specialist hooker in the Springbok squad as they prepare to face New Zealand in Paris on Saturday, was investigated after Curry made the allegation during the first half of last weekend’s semifinal, which South Africa won 16-15.
