Curry's in a hurry to solve Lions' issues

The Lions arrived in Perth on Sunday smarting from the 28-24 loss at the Aviva Stadium that drew a scathing assessment from head coach Andy Farrell, who refused to blame the squad’s lack of familiarity for the setback.

Western Force provide the first opportunity to make amends for the error-strewn opener and Curry, a tourist with the elite of British and Irish rugby in 2021, knows time is of the essence if the team are to be ready to face Australia.

“The thing with this sport and this tour is that it comes and goes so quickly,” said the England flanker.

“You've got to make the most of it.

“Every meeting and every session. Before you know it we'll be playing in Australia so we can’t let moments pass us by.
