Oundle School rugby players and identical twins Ben and Tom Curry (17) have been selected to represent the Elite England U18 rugby side. 
Tom was selected to play against France, in Nantes, and Ben and Tom will both play against Scotland.
As well as representing Cheshire and North of England at U16s, both were capped for England U16s, Ben with England U16 Saxons and Tom England U16s. Tom was also awarded England U16 Player of Year (The Trevor Watton Cup) in that season.
Head of Rugby at Oundle (and former England player), John Olver commented, “Oundle has had a rich run of fortune at the Elite England level over recent years. Together with Ben and Tom, Sam Olver (Tom and Ben’s cousin) and Josh Peters also represented England U18s. All four players have signed professional contracts post Oundle, with Ben and Tom Curry signing for Sale Sharks, and Sam Olver and Josh Peters already fully professional at Northampton Saints.”
Both boys are due to complete their A-levels this summer; Ben hopes to study Pharmacy or Maths at university and Tom wishes to study Geography.
Oundle’ other two rugby scholars, Zac Berrill and Josef Green, both train at Northampton Saints Academy and played against the Curry twins in an U18 Premiership academy game at half term.
