Ooops - spelled his name wrong

There was a link to this video on the same page - Some fascinating statistics about the energy expended in a tackle!

FROM 1:10 on.
Owen Farrell coming in, he gets the drop goal away, before he is flattened.
The measure of the man is when you see him and Farrell on the deck, watching the ball go through the posts. Applauding the abrasive young gun on a great effort.

If ever there was a player that made the most of his ability he's it......probably the best pound for pound tackler in the game at his peak (not something you'd normally say about a 10!).....almost definitely to his future detriment.
Amazing that he's still playing after such an injury blighted career.
Gave me the sporting memory of my life so far, for that JW I thank you! And yes I was there

Did anyone else watch the match? You had to see to understand. The WHOLE match from end to end, entire french coverage, from both sides was about him. At the end you had Habbana and and I think the Kiwi prop on the cross bar both waving Thankyou Jonny flags. Hollande was taking selfies with him. Bakkies Bothha spent the entire match going exactly where Jonny pointed him to.

Sadly I did not. But I now have a lump in my throat! Edited by steveT350C on Sunday 1st June 21:16
I was in the Aussie pub in Munich and it was incredible. We had a lot of French in, one set of Castre fans and one of Toulon. The Germans were there and drawn in to watching it, the Irish, Aussie and Brit regulars aswell. The Toulon French boys were singing Jonny songs and chants the rest of us had never heard! The Germans were confused as hell and it must be the first time English, Irish and Aussies have ever cheered for a French team.
Surreal, random, great night
Oh yea andEVERYONE booed when Hollande came on the screen.
