No formal sanctions will be imposed after Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi accused England's Tom Curry of assaulting him in the tunnel post an Autumn Series match. Six Nations Rugby emphasized the incident's record and warned future similar incidents will face disciplinary scrutiny.

After an intense Autumn Series fixture, no formal sanctions will be placed on Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi or England player Tom Curry, according to Six Nations Rugby. Contepomi had accused Curry of hitting him post-match in a highly charged atmosphere.

The incident, which followed Argentina's narrow 27-23 loss to England in London, prompted an investigation. Although the claims of bullying raised concerns, the organizers opted not to impose penalties, citing the emotional nature of the event.

Six Nations Rugby stated that the incident would be documented in their records. Should similar altercations arise in future tournaments, all parties involved might face disciplinary action based on this precedent.
