The Pumas head coach, who also said Curry used an expletive, clarified his remarks by saying: “Not a smack, a push, a hit here on the chest. So maybe it is his nature I don’t know.
“I was standing there. He was coming to say ‘hi’ to one of our coaches [Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe], but Fernandez said ‘no, no’ because we were upset because he was reckless and broke our player’s knee.
“When he came I said ‘mate, you broke his knee’, and he pushed me. Maybe that’s the way he is. I don’t know him. I’m not happy with the situation.
“After breaking someone’s knee you need to be at least humble enough and respectful to say sorry I did something wrong. But he went the opposite.
“Maybe it’s his way of being a bully. If we want bullies in this game, good on them. I know it’s rugby, but if we don’t look after each other in rugby, it could be dangerous.”
England head coach Steve Borthwick said he was “unaware” of what happened in the tunnel, but that “post-game, on the pitch, emotions are always flying high”.
On Curry’s alleged actions, he said: “I think that anybody in this room who has had any contact with Tom Curry knows there’s a character of a man. His character is impeccable. He’s a fantastic team man, a very respectful guy.
“I think Tom Curry’s character is unquestionable.
“I wouldn’t want that, in any instance, to be the centre of attention of what was a tough, hard Test match where two teams really went at it for the afternoon and that’s all I’ve got to say really about it.”
