Oh my god, they do not. Defamation laws have an "honest defence" argument. If Curry thought he was racially abused he can publicly make the claim he was, even if it turns out later he misheard. If such a law didn't exist it would prevent people from ever making accusations for fear of lawsuits. "ho...

Is that what actually happened though, or are you just making shit up now? Accusing someone of making racist comments is a serious allegation that could cause significant harm to a person's reputation.

It would be libel (by the RFU), not slander. Also honest defense is a cornerstone of such claims.

You are a fùcking lunatic Facts are facts. The legal precedent is there. The laws are there. If Tom Curry and the RFU was serious about stamping out racism they would have released their evidence.

I saw that and thought it was very crass. The Afrikaans defence came out very quickly after the match. Mainly from the media and supporters jumped on it.

Yep, but if the RFU/Curry believed that was the case, they probably wouldn't have made that statement. They may well be wrong, but I doubt there will be an apology whilst Curry genuinely believes it. Just because he believes it is irrelevant. I'd say it's pretty relevant with respect to the expecta...
