The Springbok player has recently been training with the team near Paris in preparation for the clash between the Springboks and the All Blacks. According to The South African, he is expected to play at the final when Mzansi takes on New Zealand on 28 October. Mbonambi has been plagued recently as World Rugby announced that he will be investigated after Tom Curry accused him of using a racial slur.

The country was in full support and stood behind him and believed that the English player misunderstood the term he used. It’s thought that Mbonambi shouted “Wit kant”, translated as “white side”, when the English side attacked and pushed the Springbok into defence mode. Even the Minister of Sports, Zizi Kodwa, threw his weight behind Mbonambi and announced that the country would support Mbonambi.
