It comes after scrum coach Tom Harrison revealed that Curry ignored another member of the coaching team by continuing a conditioning session.<\/p>\n<p>Curry will return to the England team in their October 7 clash against Samoa. The Sale Sharks ace has been suspended after being shown a red card for a high tackle against Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Steve Borthwick will likely bring Curry straight into the team. And team-mate Earl has provided a glowing reference for why he should play in England\u2019s next game.<\/p>\n<p>Taking part in a Reddit Ask Me Anything with England Rugby, the 25-year-old was asked who possesses the biggest \u2018engine\u2019 in the squad. Earl confirmed that Marcus Smith and Curry are among the fittest members of the World Cup team.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Rugby World Cup ace made heartwarming gesture hours after hearing of son&#8217;s death[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/69\/590x\/secondary\/4992775.jpg?r=1696370753094\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarcus Smith can run forever,\u201d Earl responded, adding: \u201cTom Curry is a bit of a freak of nature too really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scrum coach Harrison revealed that Curry ignored coaches during his suspension to ensure he was fully fit for his return. Aled Waters, England\u2019s head of strength and conditioning, wanted Curry to finish a session &#8211; but the instruction was allegedly ignored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTom is a unique player in that I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever come across anyone so fit, or so willing to work hard and put himself through pain,\u201d Harrison said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just seems to be able to enjoy it and keep going. There was a conditioning session the other day where he finished his reps and Aled Walters was shouting at him, \u2018Get out, get out\u2019. And he just carried on running.
