England fans slam 'ridiculous' Luke Cowan-Dickie after penalty try
Rugby NewsSaturday, 05 February 2022 at 18:29
Luke Cowan-Dickie's action meant that Darcy Graham didn't have a chance of catching the cross-field kick from Finn Russell himself - England's forward was the last man.
A penalty try doesn't need to be converted, instead it's an instant seven points and the home crowd was rejuvenated.
It's fair to say it really annoyed England fans.
5 Legitimately Toughest Rugby Players Of The Professional Era
#5. Jerry Collins (New Zealand)
He intimidated with his ferocious tackling and fearsome ball-carrying. If you want evidence of just how hard as nails Collins was, just ask Colin Charvis, who was knocked out cold by one of his tackles in a New Zealand v Wales game.
#4. Bakkies Botha (South Africa)
In an era when it has been more difficult to 'assert yourself' as a hard man because there are so many TV cameras around these days, he was still able to stand out as the Springboks' enforcer for a decade.
#3. Martin Johnson (England)
The former England captain was as tough as they come, once having to leave the field to have a cut to his eye tended to before returning to the field moments later.
#2. Paul O'Connell (Ireland)
Paul O’Connell is simply the type of person you do not mess with. He’s got a head like a battering ram and stands over six feet tall.
#1. Jacques Burger (Namibia)
His wild hair and misshapen nose bear testament to his hammering away at the breakdown coalface as a player who could perform with distinction across all three back-row positions.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
