Tom Curry
Tom Curry became the youngest player to start an international for England in 90 years when he made his senior debut five days before his 19th birthday in Argentina on the 2017 summer tour. Tom and Ben both studied at Oundle School – where the master in charge of rugby was their uncle and former England international John Olver. The Sale Sharks flanker had a breakthrough season in 2016/17 and made his Twickenham bow in an uncapped game against the Barbarians in May 2017, after twin brother Ben had withdrawn due to injury. The following month Tom appeared in the first Test against Argentina in San Juan - only Jonny Wilkinson has been a younger Test debutant for England. He started every game of the 2019 Guinness Men's Six Nations, scoring tries against Wales and Scotland and was part of the England squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. His performances across that year saw him nominated for the World Rugby player of the year. Tom featured in the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, and was recently named in Steve Borthwick's squad for the 2025 Six Nations.

The back row consists of two flankers and the No 8. The blind-side flanker wears six and the open-side flanker seven, both specialising in big tackles and winning possession through turnovers. They are fearless, strong and fast to the breakdown. The No 8 secures the ball at the base of the scrum, is an attacking link between forwards and backs and a real force when defending.
