Argentina File Complaint Over Tom Curry After Alleged Tunnel Shove

Six Nations has requested England’s account to decide on any inquiry following the tackle that left Juan Cruz Mallía with a torn ACL.

Overview

  • Argentina confirmed Juan Cruz Mallía tore the ACL in his right knee after a late tackle by Tom Curry near the end of the Twickenham Test.
  • The challenge was penalised on the field but not referred to the TMO and drew no card, and reports indicate it has not met the red‑card threshold for a citing.
  • Argentina lodged a formal complaint over an alleged tunnel shove and swearing by Curry toward head coach Felipe Contepomi after a post‑match melee.
  • Six Nations, which oversees the Autumn Nations Series, is gathering accounts from both teams within its 24‑hour citing window to determine possible disciplinary steps.
  • England head coach Steve Borthwick defended Curry’s character, and the RFU is understood to be prepared to provide relevant tunnel footage if requested.
