Curry played in England’s 2019 final defeat but has beaten the Boks with both England and the British and Irish Lions.
Tom Curry knows what it takes to defeat South Africa as he braced England for the fight of their lives in Saturday’s World Cup semi-final at the Stade de France.
Having experienced highs and lows against the reigning champions, Curry has built up an insight into the type of performance needed to topple the world champions.“I’ve been lucky enough to experience both sides. I understand what it takes and it’s going to be a lot so can’t wait to go after it this weekend,” the all-action openside said.
“This is a clash between two very exciting teams and we can’t wait to go. It’s a semi-final. If that’s not enough to get you up for a game then I don’t know what will.Wing Elliot Daly is another survivor from England’s harrowing defeat in Yokohama four years ago and one of a small group of players whose international careers were revived by Steve Borthwick’s appointment in December.
“I had a bit of time out from the squad and then when I came back in, there was a different feeling within this group. We’re going to try and harness that.”
