\u201cThat is the bit that I, and we, really don\u2019t understand. And I know it seems to be going more and more like this, but it shouldn\u2019t be, it shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are dealing with people, with human beings. Just because you\u2019re saying stuff on your phone or behind a computer screen doesn\u2019t make doesn\u2019t make it acceptable. It seems to be going more and more this was this way, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s acceptable. It doesn\u2019t make me look fondly on engaging with people outside of the people that are close to you.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Curry] is one of the most honest, most hardworking blokes I\u2019ve have I\u2019ve ever played with. I hope he knows that everybody close to him, supports him, and backs him all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was thought that Borthwick might leave the flanker out of his matchday 23 to face Argentina given the ongoing situation.<\/p>\n

However, Borthwick insisted on Thursday that Curry was \u201cdesperate to play\u201d as England look to sign off their tournament on a high.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a Tom Curry incident,\u201d Borthwick stressed. \u201cSomebody has said something in a game that he has reported and now this is a World Rugby and South Africa Rugby matter to deal with, not an England rugby or a Tom Curry matter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom Curry is set to feature against Argentina<\/p>\n

\u201cI chatted to Tom early in the week. I think everyone saw when he came off that pitch when I took him off on Saturday night, he was cut and bloodied and exactly how Tom Curry plays.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I chatted to him about how he was physically with another six-day turnaround and he looked straight at me and point blank said: \u2018I am desperate to play on Friday night.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy wants to play. There is no doubt in my mind, he wants to be out there on Friday night and the way he has prepared through the week has been incredible. But that is Tom Curry. It is the way he does it every single week so I couldn\u2019t be more proud of him from that side.\u201d<\/p>\n
