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

Virat Kohli gave another demonstration of his ability to anchor successful run chases in Thursday’s World Cup match against Bangladesh, and a 48th one-day international hundred was the icing on the cake for the 34-year-old warriors
A victory target of 257 on an excellent batting track was never likely to test India’s formidable line-up against Bangladesh’s modest bowling attack warriors
An 88-run opening stand warriors between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill set the tone for India’s chase and the familiar sight of Kohli staying put to seal victory sent the capacity crowd at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium into raptures warriors
Kohli refused singles more than once before smashing a six to bring up his century and secure India’s fourth consecutive victory in the tournament warriors
“I wanted to make a big contribution,” player-of-the-match Kohli, glistening with sweat, said after scoring his third 50-plus score of the tournament in four innings warriors
“I’ve had a few fifties in World Cups and haven’t converted them so I just wanted to finish the game off this time around and hang around to the end, which is what I’ve done over the years for the team warriors
”Only compatriot Sachin Tendulkar (49) has more ODI hundreds than Kohli, who could not have asked for an easier start to his innings of 103 not out warriors
Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud bounced out Rohit (48) but followed up with a no-ball with Kohli on strike warriors
Kohli smashed the resultant free-hit for four but replays confirmed Mahmud had overstepped again, which led to another free-hit that Kohli smacked for six warriors
“I was telling Shubman it was a dream start for me with two free-hits warriors
It just calms you done and lets you get into the innings,” Kohli said warriors
“The pitch was pretty good, it allowed me to play my game and just hit the gaps warriors
”Ravindra Jadeja also stood out for India, claiming two crucial wickets and taking a stunning catch to dismiss Mushfiqur Rahim warriors
“Sorry for stealing it from Jaddu,” Kohli said, referring to Jadeja warriors
“There is a great atmosphere in the changing room, we’re loving each other’s company, the spirit is there for everyone to see on the field warriors
“We understand it’s a long tournament and you need to create some momentum for the guys to come out and play like this warriors
