Tom Curry\u2019s club have hit out at the \u201cdisgusting abuse\u201d directed at the England player since he alleged he was racially abused in Saturday\u2019s World Cup semi-final against South Africa.<\/p>\n

The flanker alleged he was called a \u201cwhite c***\u201d by Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi in the first half of the match and World Rugby is now investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

Curry has been subjected to online threats since he made the allegation and his team Sale Sharks issued a statement expressing their strident support for him on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSale Sharks\u2019 owners, players, coaches and staff are absolutely appalled by the nature and level of disgusting abuse directed at Tom Curry and his family in relation to an incident in the England v South Africa World Cup semi-final,\u201d the post on X, formerly Twitter, read.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at the club stands fully and proudly behind Tom and we look forward to welcoming him back to Carrington.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sale\u2019s director of rugby Alex Sanderson told the Daily Telegraph: \u201cI don\u2019t understand how what someone does on the rugby field causes them to receive threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is disgusting. It is out of order. I am not on social media for this very reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

England attack coach Richard Wigglesworth said on Tuesday that Curry\u2019s team-mates would have \u201cgot round him\u201d and added: \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019s getting every bit of support that he needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure you can ever put yourself in those shoes and know that feeling. What I do know is he\u2019s an impressive young man who, if selected on Friday (for the third-place play-off match against Argentina), will pour everything into that England shirt as he has done on the previous 49 occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n
