England rugby squad bond over Love Island

-

England are bonding during their World Cup training camp by watching Love Island. Eddie Jones’ squad have been viewing the reality TV show to forge closer links off the pitch and to switch off from the gruelling conditioni­ng programme in place for Japan 2019. England flanker Tom Curry, has revealed that Love Island has emerged as an unlikely topic of conversati­on. “In the first week we played dodgeball and in the second week we were with the RAF and did some stuff with the lifeguard. We’ve been going out for coffees as well,” Curry told PA. “But there’s also been a lot of Love Island. We’ve been watching it together as a team and everyone is pretty keen on it. It’s a good way to get together with the new lads coming into camp. The Love Island fans in the squad talk about it, but I just think it’s funny to watch. I was more keen on it last year.”
