England flanker Tom Curry reveals he 'curled up into a ball' and 'just cried' to his girlfriend Lilla before hip surgery last season because of a warning that his career could be over.
England flanker Tom Curry says he "curled up into a ball" and "just cried" to his girlfriend Lilla before hip surgery last season because of a warning that his career could be over.
Curry added that his "big relief" came when the surgeon said he could now look at making him "better as a rugby player" after admitting his biggest worry initially was getting the Sale Sharks back row playing. "It meant everything," the Sale flanker said. "In terms of being able to have that confidence from Steve and the coaches, it was massive.
With 53 caps, Curry is one of the most experienced players in Borthwick's squad and is set to enter his prime playing years.
