Curry Cleared: No Rugby Shove Punishment
5 Dec
Summary
- Tom Curry will not face punishment for an alleged tunnel shove.
- Six Nations Rugby reviewed footage and statements regarding the incident.
- The incident will be recorded for potential future disciplinary action.

England rugby player Tom Curry has been cleared of any wrongdoing following an alleged altercation with Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi. The incident reportedly occurred in the tunnel after a contentious match where Contepomi accused Curry of a shove and using obscenities. Contepomi was particularly incensed by a late tackle made by Curry on an Argentinian player.
Six Nations Rugby, the organizing body, conducted a thorough review of the incident. This included examining all available information, statements from involved parties, and video footage. After careful consideration of all factors, the organization concluded that no formal disciplinary action would be taken against either Curry or Contepomi.
While no sanction is being imposed, Six Nations Rugby stated that the incident will be officially recorded. This record will be brought to the attention of any future disciplinary committees should similar events occur involving either individual in upcoming tournaments. England's head coach, Steve Borthwick, defended Curry's character, describing him as impeccable and a fantastic team man.
