Tom Curry chosen for England's tour to Japan and New Zealand after recovering from injury
- Despite a fitness warning, Tom Curry has been selected for England's tour to Japan and New Zealand.
- Head coach Steve Borthwick is putting faith in Curry's recovery from a serious hip injury as he joins the squad for the tour.
- Curry's inclusion in the squad brings the opportunity for him to showcase his skills on the international stage once again.
Tom Curry and Maro Itoje will tour with the England squad this summer despite concerns about their fitness. Curry, who has barely played this year due to hip surgery, is eager to be part of the team. Itoje, on the other hand, is close to reaching his seasonal limit but is also keen to play. The squad, led by head coach Steve Borthwick, includes players like George Ford, Marcus Smith, and Fin Smith who will compete for the fly-half position. Despite concerns about player welfare, both Curry and Itoje are determined to contribute to the team's success. England will face Japan and New Zealand in the upcoming summer series, with a focus on strengthening the competitiveness of northern hemisphere rugby.
