The verdict has been confirmed regarding the incident between England back row Tom Curry, and Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi, following the Quilter Nations Series match. Curry was alledged to have shoved past Contepomi, with the Pumas coach also stating that how the Sale man used foul language in his direction during the altercation in the tunnel.
Contepomi was upset with the incident, to the extent that he brandished Curry's behaviour as that of a 'bully' in his post-match reaction at Allianz Stadium. An official statement has been released by the Quilter Nations Series tournament organiser, Six Nations Rugby. The statement reads:
"Following the Quilter Nations Series fixture between England and Argentina, at Allianz Stadium on Sunday 23rd November, Six Nations Rugby; the Official Tournament Organiser of the Quilter Nations Series, has reviewed all available information, statements, and footage, relating to an incident between England Rugby player, Tom Curry, and Argentina Head Coach, Felipe Contepomi.

"However, this incident will remain on record and should a similar incident by either party occur in future tournaments, the record of this incident will be brought to the attention of the relevant Disciplinary Committee."
