“Our captain” – Eddie Jones reveals the five ‘nailed-on’ players for his World Cup XV

#4. Tom Curry

  • Age: 23
  • Club: Sale Sharks
  • Position: Flanker

Jones said: “One man who’s done remarkably well for England is Tom Curry. You look at the way his game has developed since he came into the team during the last Lions tour in 2017.

“He’s played at 6,7 and 8 for us and I can really see his game developing to another level. He came in as a very strong defensive player but I think he can really develop his attacking game in a similar way Richie McCaw did.”

“There is no limit to where his game can go.”
