England rugby player Tom Curry has been subjected to online abuse following his allegation against South African player Bongi Mbonambi. The abuse has been described as 'disgusting' by England and South African team members. Curry's family has also been targeted. Steve Borthwick and Owen Farrell have spoken out about the abuse. Siya Kolisi, the South African captain, has condemned the abuse directed at Curry and his family.
For the first time in my life I've found myself disagreeing with Siya Kolisi. On the abuse Tom Curry's received Kolisi said "We can take it as players, when it comes to you it’s fine, but when families are involved it’s different" ... No. Why should ANYONE have to take this?

Siya Kolisi has been in touch with Tom Curry to offer his support & is appalled by the online abuse he’s received. “I feel for him & I feel for his family.” World Rugby says there’s insufficient evidence to proceed with charges. The RFU’s response is as angry as I can remember.
