‘We support each other in whatever we do, whether its an under-15 final or one of the biggest stages in sport’
When the Sale flanker Ben Curry was given special dispensation by his club to travel to Yokohama to watch his identical twin brother, Tom, play for England in Saturday’s World Cup final he immediately texted him the good news – only to receive a very modern reply. “He just sent a funny gif of me at last year’s Under-20 World Cup in France saying ‘Hi guys’,” says Ben. “And then he wrote ‘Ben rocking up in Japan’ underneath.
He starts to laugh. “We’re like an old married couple, we don’t say too much to each other,” the 21-year-old says, laughing away. “But he’s done very well. Through his own hard work he has been given that chance. I am very proud of him.”
