Tom Curry has also played at number eight for England

Curry has been ruled out of England's tour of Australia because of a concussion.

Curry played in the first Test in Perth but was replaced at the half time break.

He will return to England later this week after travelling with the team for the next game.

Eddie Jones' side will lose the three-test series if they are defeated on Saturday.

The Rugby Football Union said it was in the interests of player welfare and recovery that Curry withdraw and his assessment and ongoing management will continue in England.

The governing body didn't suggest that he would be replaced in the tour squad.

Curry is the first injury for England and Australia have suffered a lot.

Quade Cooper sustained a calf injury in the warm-up before the match and full-back Tom Banks broke his arm in the game.

Banks won't be a part of the rest of the tour and it's not known if Cooper and Alaalatoa will continue in the series.

The second Test will start on July 9th at 10:55 and the final match will be on July 16th.
