• Flanker flourishing alongside Sam Underhill at World Cup• ‘We are both pretty weird’ admits CurryWhen Eddie Jones anointed Tom Curry as one of the Kamikaze Kids because he “hits everything that moves” he probably was not referring to tackling TVs. Curry, however, has been known to do exactly that – a consequence of sleepwalking in the team hotel – and his teammates have not let him forget it.
Sam Underhill, the other Kamikaze Kid, says he would hate to room with Curry because of it and it seems within the
England squad he is not alone. They are, however, inseparable off the field – Joe Marler is in charge of fines in
Japan and anyone who goes for lunch with Curry and Underhill is liable. Curry says they are “electric company” but, with tongue firmly in cheek, claims “people can’t handle it”. He is on his own though, when it comes to the Tokyo cat cafes – coffee shops where moggies will climb all over you to your heart’s content.
