England U20: Ben Curry called up for World Rugby U20 Championship

Ben Curry is yet to win a senior England cap

Sale Sharks flanker Ben Curry has been named in England's Under-20 squad for the World Rugby U20 Championship later in May.

The 19-year-old was part of the England senior men's squad for their tour of Argentina in the summer of 2017.

However, twin brother Tom will not join the under-20 squad for the tournament in France as he has a senior call-up.

Meanwhile, Exeter Chiefs prop Marcus Street will miss this year's competition because of injury.

"Selection has been incredibly difficult as there were a lot of players to choose from and in some positions it's been a really tight call," coach Steve Bates said.

"We saw real glimpses of what this team is capable of during the Six Nations, and I was proud of the way they performed.

"The challenge for us now is to consistently play high-intensity, high-tempo rugby and to turn up the heat on our opposition for the full 80 minutes."
