Argentina File Complaint Over Alleged Tom Curry Tunnel Shove After Late Hit That Injured Mallía

Six Nations is reviewing Argentina’s formal complaint, with England asked to submit their account within the citing window.

Overview

  • Argentina confirmed Juan Cruz Mallía tore his ACL after a late tackle by Tom Curry during England’s 27-23 win at Twickenham.
  • Felipe Contepomi accused Curry of shoving him and swearing in the players’ tunnel, and Argentina formally requested an investigation.
  • Curry’s hit was penalised on-field but not referred to the TMO, and he avoided a red‑card citing as the offence was judged below the threshold.
  • Six Nations has requested England’s version of events and can open disciplinary proceedings over the alleged tunnel incident.
  • The RFU is understood to be willing to provide tunnel footage, while England coach Steve Borthwick publicly defended Curry’s character.
