England captain Owen Farrell: Online abuse of Tom Curry not acceptable

Owen Farrell has condemned the online vilification of Tom Curry after the England flanker alleged he was racially abused in Saturday’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa.

“Tom has been first class this week, like he always is. He’s one of the most honest, most hard working blokes I’ve ever played with,” England captain Farrell said. “This is not a Tom Curry incident. Somebody said something in a game that he has reported,” Borthwick said. “The way Tom play means he has more involvements than any other player on the pitch. And they are physically powerful involvements,” Borthwick said.

“This guy wants to play. There is no doubt in my mind he wants to be out there and the way he has prepared through the week has been incredible.“But that’s Tom Curry. It’s the way he does it every single week so I couldn’t be more proud of him.”
