Rugby NewsSunday, 03 July 2022 at 07:57
England flanker Tom Curry was replaced at half-time by Lewis Ludlam after being allowed to play on following a brutal head knock.
Eddie Jones confirmed in his post-match press conference that Curry had an HIA but did not share details of the results.
If the flanker was replaced due to a concussion, hr will miss next week's test due to the new mandatory 14 day standdown period.
Curry was immense in the opening 40 with The Telegraph giving him a 9/10.
Tackles, turnovers, breaks and a miss pass before coming off with England really missing him in the second-half.

FOUR PLAYERS EDDIE JONES SHOULD DROP:
#1. OWEN FARRELL
Rugby 365 on. Farrell 5/10: "Some good early touches but like so many others, faded out the game as the Wallabies stormed back. "
Telegraph on Farrell 5/10: "Midfield was often too flat, making it far too easy to defend."
Rugby Pass on Farrell 5/10: "Missed a couple of kicks that might have applied further scoreboard pressure."
#2. JOE COKANASIGA
Mail Online on Cokanasiga 5/10: "Not as involved as boss Eddie Jones would have liked and needs to hunt ball more."
Telegraph 5/10 on Cokanasiga: "Picked to add some power to the backline, Cokanasiga bumped off Australian captain Hooper in resounding fashion early on but was very quiet for the remainder."
#3. JAMIE GEORGE
Rugby Pass on George 5/10: "Made a brilliant steal on Koroibete but unable to have the same impact either in the tight or with ball in hand as he might have liked."
#4. JONNY HILL
Telegraph on Hill 4/10: "Yellow carded for pulling Swain’s hair. Lucky not to be punished for a push to the face of Swain before that. Reckless and immature performance."
Mail Online on Hill 5/10: "Rose to Swain’s bait and was yellow-carded but carried hard in first Test since autumn."
Rugby Pass on Hill 5/10: "There was a slap for which he was lucky not to be carded before he eventually saw yellow for the hair-pull. "

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
