(Reuters) - England's Sale Sharks flanker Tom Curry will miss next year's Six Nations as he requires hip surgery and will likely be out for the rest of the season, local media reported on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old, who won his 50th cap in the World Cup third-place play-off against Argentina last month, was sidelined for this year's Six Nations because of a hamstring problem.
