#3. BEN CURRY
ale Sharks have announced that Ben Curry, the England flanker, will need to undergo surgery on a hamstring tendon, putting his participation in this year’s Rugby World Cup in doubt.
Curry sustained the injury during Sale’s 21-13 victory over Leicester Tigers in the Premiership semi-final on Sunday. Consequently, he will be absent from the final against Saracens at Twickenham this Saturday.
Sale confirmed the news in a statement about Curry and Dan du Preez, who injured his shoulder, stating: “Both players will require surgery ahead of the new season and will be seeing specialists this week.
“Ben and Dan have put in huge shifts this season to get us to Twickers and we can’t thank them enough.”
Sharks boss Alex Sanderson’s deep connection with both teams adds an extra layer of excitement to the highly anticipated final.
