The scariest bit about Courtney lawes’ tackles is that they are completely fair and by the book. He can put you out of action and it’s purely through technique and raw strength, no foul play about it.
The first tackle happened right in front of me in Montpellier, it’s still the most perfectly timed, evil tackle I’ve ever seen. The groundsmen were still picking pieces of Julien Thomas out of the pitch after the game had ended!
I remember seeing him play for the first time in 2008 and was horrified. Amazing to see how far he's come. Never imagined he'd captain England. Probably the most physical 6 alive
Where are all the muppets commenting that "almost all of those were legal" or "He only tackles small players" that appear on every other compilation of his tackles. Loving the work Courtney.
"I'm not going to hit him too hard, he's only little." Rugby is won through hard work, physicality, technique, and mismatches. Lawes nails all 4 like he did Parra
