Curry - there's no place I'd rather be

Curry was part of the side that was crushed by the Springboks in the 2019 final, but he also played in England's two victories against their rivals in 2018 and 2021 as well winning with the British and Irish Lions that same year.

Having experienced highs and lows against the reigning world champions, Curry has built up an insight into the type of performance needed to topple them.

"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 allaction openside said.

"It's always a great game when you play against them. We know the Springboks and they've developed their game. They've matured and we have as well.
