Brian Moore's Full Contact Rugby: France are back, but England still the team to beat

Subscribe to Brian Moore's Full Contact podcast for free: https://www.playpodca.st/fullcontact Seven months after it was due to conclude, the longest Six Nations in history is finally over, and joining Brian Moore in studio to look back on the tournament is former Fiji Sevens coach and Olympic Gold Medalist Ben Ryan. Congratulations to England who have lifted the trophy for a third time in five years after getting their required bonus point over Italy on the final day. A 'proud' Eddie Jones says attention will now turn onto the upcoming autumn international series as he looks to develop his young squad even further. Elsewhere it was a tournament to forget for Wales who finished fifth and registered their fifth defeat in a row when losing to Scotland on the final day. We chat with former Wales and Lions fly half James Hook to discuss the feeling from Welsh supporters surrounding new head coach Wayne Pivac who has struggled since taking charge. We also assess the campaigns of both France and Ireland who played out an entertaining finale in Paris on Saturday night, many think that the French were the most deserved winners of the tournament this year but Brian believes there are still holes in their game. And we hear from the British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland who's been speaking for the first time in the build up the 2021 tour of South Africa.

Listen: Tom Curry accuses South Africa's Bongi Mbonambi of racist slur at Rugby World Cup match

England flanker Tom Curry alleged to referee Ben O’Keeffe that South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi called him a “white c---” during the Springboks’ World Cup semi-final victory. The incident occurred just before the half-hour mark with England leading 9-3 as Curry approached O’Keeffe, the New Zealand official. On the referee’s microphone, Curry can be clearly heard asking, “Sir, Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c--- what do I do?” O’Keeffe replies: “Nothing please.” He then adds “I will be on it” although it is not clear if this in reference to Curry’s complaint, but he takes no action against Mbonambi. There is no audible evidence of Mbonambi’s alleged abuse. After the final whistle, Mbonambi refused to shake Curry’s hand. Following the game the Sale Sharks openside was asked if Mbonambi said something he should not have, he replied, “yeah” but would not confirm the exact details. “It does not need to be talked about.” Read more: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2023/10/22/tom-curry-south-africa-bongi-mbonambi-racism-accusations/ #rugbyworldcup #england #southafrica #BongiMbonambi #TomCurry #slur Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
