Two-time rugby World Cup winner and self-confessed “golf tragic” Dan Carter is eager to see the result of a new programme aimed at boosting participation for golfers with a disability in Ireland 22bet
The former New Zealand fly-half was in Dublin this week to help launch the partnership 22bet between Golf Ireland and ISPS Handa which will see the latter sponsor the Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability in June 2024 and become the lead partner of Golf Ireland’s Golf4All programmes 22bet
Carter, who is an ambassador for ISPS Handa, said: “I know at ISPS Handa they are going to look at different sporting events, different organisations about partnering with them 22bet
“One of the most important things is they really have a lot of values 22bet
So to learn about Golf Ireland and wanting to make Golf4All is a perfect alignment for ISPS Handa 22bet
“It’s a really exciting partnership and one that’s going to work for both sides 22bet
I’m really intrigued to see how this partnership evolves and also the uptake of golf here in Ireland 22bet
“I’m a bit of a golf tragic, I think I’m much 22bet better than I actually am, so it’s great to be back here in Ireland and next time I can guarantee I will be bringing my golf clubs 22bet
”Fellow ISPS Handa ambassador and world number two Brendan Lawlor added: “The beautiful thing about this partnership is it’s going to give so many disability golfers in Ireland a chance at every level, a chance at G4D events, to get disability children into the game and also to get anyone in any walk of life into the game and it’s fantastic 22bet
“Golf Ireland are definitely the most progressive foundation and organisation in disability golf at the minute 22bet
“We meet every few months for different meetings to talk about different ways to try and boost the game and get different people into the game 22bet
“It’s wonderful to see an organisation that’s willing to work with you to make great things happen 22bet

Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the Rugby World Cup final after World Rugby confirmed there is “insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges” after he was investigated for an alleged racial slur during the semi-final win over England 22bet
England flanker Tom Curry alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victory 22bet
After 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck 22bet
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe 22bet
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment 22bet
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast 22bet
Following an investigation, World Rugby released a statement saying they won’t proceed with charges and that “the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light”, which freed the path for Mbonambi to be selected as the Springboks’ starting hooker for Saturday evening’s clash with New Zealand 22bet
The statement said: “World Rugby has undertaken a review of allegations made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language by South Africa’s Mbongeni Mbonambi during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday, along with a further allegation brought forward in recent days about a previous match in the Autumn Nations Series 2022 22bet
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation 22bet
Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges 22bet
Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light 22bet
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious 22bet
”Tom Curry made the allegation during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat (PA Wire)Curry had been the target of threats on social media after the allegations, with his club Sale Sharks saying they were “absolutely appalled” by the “nature and level” of abuse, while England captain Owen Farrell also slammed those sending the flanker abuse 22bet
Despite the threats, Curry has been selected in the England team to take on Argentina in the bronze final on Friday evening and World Rugby also addressed this aspect of the situation in their statement 22bet
They wrote: “World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week 22bet
There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity 22bet
”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi confirmed that he had reached out to Curry and condemned the 22bet online abuse received 22bet
“If it’s a player, coach or referee, I don’t support that and I feel for him,” said Kolisi in the team announcement press conference 22bet
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message when I saw that was going on because he’s somebody that I respect and I’ve played against for quite a while 22bet
“I’ve been through it too 22bet
We can take it as players when it comes to us directly but when it comes to your family, it’s totally different 22bet
That’s exactly what he said to me, it’s really hard when it comes to your family 22bet
That’s the one part of the game we really don’t enjoy – we don’t mind being criticised for how we play on the field but when it becomes personal 22bet

“We’ve experienced it too 22bet
Cobus [Reinach] and his family received death threats earlier this tournament 22bet
As a rugby family, as much as we compete, we do support each other when things like this happen 22bet
”Siya Kolisi confirmed he had reached out to Tom Curry (Getty Images)The RFU also released a statement following World Rugby’s confirmation that they wouldn’t press charges and said they were “deeply disappointed” by the decision 22bet
“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced whilst playing for England against South Africa,” said the statement 22bet
“During the match 22bet between England and South Africa on Saturday 21st October 2023, Tom Curry reported to the referee that he had been racially abused by Mbongeni Mbonambi 22bet
The subsequent World Rugby investigation was informed by Tom Curry that he had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the Autumn Test 2022 22bet
“World Rugby have today announced their decision not to bring charges in respect of either incident 22bet
The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby 22bet
The decision not to put the evidence before an independent disciplinary panel has denied the disciplinary process the opportunity to hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events, together with the other available evidence 22bet
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemn the disgusting abuse he and his family have received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field, in the public eye 22bet
