Anyone imagine ED (or many others for that matter) making that tackle? Mind you, at 5ft 11in and 13st 10lbs, Fast Eddie would not consider him for England as he would be too small ;)

I was watching that from high in that corner of the ground, we couldn't believe how he managed to get across

The high angle is really interesting. You can see Lewsey sprinting across at full speed but when he gets close there's a change in gait so he's better suited to powerfully drive yer man into touch.

No. On De Villiers at Twickenham after another Charlie Hodgson interception  :)

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

Not that I would ever suggest that there's anything canine about Josh.

He was one hell of a player. We've got a few forwards with that kind of attitude, but I don't think we've got any backs right now.

Mrs VV (who always had a soft spot for Lewsey) used to say he played like he was carved from stone, and caught like he was wearing Velcro gloves.
