Sale Sharks flanker Tom Curry may have caused concern for the new England head coach Steve Borthwick due to an injury ahead of the Six Nations.
Curry limped off in the 16th minute at Twickenham Stoop after his right leg was caught awkwardly in a tackle by Quins forward Wilco Louw.
Even without Tom for most of the game, Sale cemented their top-two spot in the Premiership with a hard-fought 24-16 bonus point win at third-placed Harlequins.
Sale director or rugby Alex Sanderson told BBC Radio 5 live: “We are predicting a low grade hamstring injury.
“He will have a scan [on Monday]. These things don’t turn around in a week, but I’ve already said to him ‘you get your head on for the Six Nations now’.”
Tom Curry facts:
Curry played for Crewe & Nantwich in the early stages of his amateur career where he was coached by his father as well as local cult hero Bobby Walsh
He, along with his twin brother Ben, is the son of Bishop Heber High School Head Teacher David Curry and nephew of former England hooker John Olver
It is true that the brothers had a trial at Manchester City, who the twins support, but that was scuppered by Tom scoring a spectacular own goal. Probably for the best in the end
The only way you can tell Tom and Ben apart is by their hair. Tom has his styled to the right while Ben has his swept to the left.
The duo played for Sale FC in National 2 League North before making their debut for Sale Sharks in the Gallagher Premiership
