Curry's in a hurry to solve Lions' issues

TOM Curry has warned his British and Irish Lions team-mates they cannot afford to waste a moment in their search for respect as they target an immediate response to their defeat by Argentina.

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.
