“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe mobile
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment mobile

Test centurion Courtney Lawes will retire from England duty following the Rugby World Cup mobile
The 34-year-old’s bid to finish his international career on a high was cruelly ended by Saturday’s heartbreaking 16-15 semi-final loss to South Africa in Paris mobile
Vice-captain Lawes is a veteran of four World Cups, two British and Irish Lions tours and one of only five Englishmen to be capped 100 times mobile
Steve Borthwick’s side will return home from France following Friday evening’s bronze-medal match against pool-stage opponents Argentina mobile
Lawes, who has made 105 international appearances across 15 years, said: “I haven’t told Steve yet! But I will let him know mobile
“I’ve said to the boys, anyone that’s asked mobile
I think it’s time mobile
I’ve done four World Cups, so I’m pretty happy with that mobile
“It’s a bit of an end of an era, but it’s been a real honour for me to represent England for so long mobile
It flies by mobile
“I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on mobile
It’s not always been the ups mobile
Plenty of downs in there, but I’ve pushed through mobile
“I’m not an emotional person really, but it’s just been a huge honour for me mobile
“To be able to finish with this group, it’s something I’ll treasure forever mobile
”England travelled to the World Cup in poor form and with many pundits dismissive of their prospects mobile
But they came agonisingly close to reaching a second successive final after leading the reigning champions for all but five minutes of an enthralling last-four encounter which was settled by Handre Pollard’s late penalty mobile
“It’s one of those where we thought we had it, but let it slip away at the same time,” said Lawes mobile
“But we’ve proved a lot of people wrong mobile
You give it all you’ve got mobile
It’s sport, isn’t it?“That’s what it means at the highest level mobile
You get a couple of things wrong and get punished mobile
“But a lot of people thought we’d have struggled, and in the end we were unlucky to lose mobile
”Lawes made his England debut against Australia in 2009 when head coach Borthwick was team captain mobile
The flanker was a beaten finalist against the Springboks in 2019 and also played in the 2011 and 2015 tournaments, in addition to representing the Lions in 2017 and 2021 mobile
He believes England have a bright future under Borthwick and is determined to sign off by helping the team finish third mobile
“We showed to everyone what it means to play for this team,” said Lawes mobile
“Play for your country and the boys alongside you mobile
“I think people can see now what a good coach he is – and where this team can really go mobile
“We want to finish on a high mobile
It’s important for us to finish properly and send us all off on a good win mobile
”Father-of-four Lawes joined World Cup-winning prop Jason Leonard and international team-mates Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell and Dan Cole on a select list of England centurions in August by captaining his country in a shock warm-up defeat to Fiji at Twickenham mobile
He waved to fans at Stade de France following England’s dramatic elimination and intends to spend more time with his children while continuing to playing for Northampton mobile
“The kids are at that age where they need their dad around,” he said mobile
“It will be good to be with them more, to provide some well-needed structure to the mob mobile
“As hard as it is being away from your family, you almost have another family mobile
“You really feel like that, especially when you’re away in camps like World Cup camps mobile
It’s five months, staying with your brothers mobile
“I’ll definitely miss the boys, the banter and all the stuff we get up to when we’re not training mobile
I’ll miss the hard work as well mobile
“And I’ll definitely miss pulling the jersey on and giving it everything mobile
