Six Nations Declines Sanctions in Curry–Contepomi Tunnel Case

The ruling reflects a post‑match dispute rooted in a late tackle on Juan Cruz Mallía.

Overview

  • Six Nations Rugby said neither Tom Curry nor Felipe Contepomi will face formal punishment after its review of the post‑match confrontation.
  • The organiser stated the incident will remain on record and could be raised with a Disciplinary Committee if a similar matter occurs in future tournaments.
  • Contepomi had accused Curry of shoving him and using an obscenity in the tunnel and had described the England flanker as a “bully.”
  • The clash followed England’s 27–23 win on 23 November, when Curry’s late tackle left Mallía with a suspected ACL injury and Argentina finished with 14 players.
  • Six Nations Rugby said it examined all available statements and footage, while England coach Steve Borthwick publicly defended Curry’s character.
