#3. First yellow card – Ben Clarke
He was the first player to be issued a yellow card in a Test match after he stamped on Ireland’s Simon Geoghegan during their Five Nations Championship clash in Dublin in 1995. However, referee Patrick Thomas merely ‘showed’ Clarke the card with no sin-bin as at the time it was used as a warning only.
#4. Most replacement appearances: Danny Care – 46
No one strives to be the second best at their chosen profession but sometimes circumstances dictate that you play a supporting role. Incredibly, Care has only started 38 of his 84 England caps.
