Tom Curry ruled out of England tour of Australia with concussion

England’s hopes of turning their series against Australia around have been dealt a major blow after Tom Curry was ruled out of the rest of the tour with concussion.

Curry appeared to suffer a blow to the head early in the first Test and was replaced at half-time during the 30-28 defeat in Perth. The openside flanker has travelled to Brisbane with the rest of the squad but England have announced that, “in the interests of player welfare and recovery, he will take no further part in the tour” and will soon return home.
