What are the greatest one-liners or quotes that have been made on rugby union?
We've put together a list of our five favourites. Hope you enjoy the list,

1. Martin Johnson

England were able to survive a defensive scrum on own five metre line against the All Blacks in 2003 despite being down six men due to Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio being sin-binned.
What followed was not just one scrum but a sequence of four, and a penalty conceded by England. New Zealand number 8 Rodney So'oialo tapped and ran from short range but was denied and penalised for a double movement. England had resisted the irresistible.
Martin Johnson was asked after game "what went through your head during that scrum?". He answered "nearly my spine". Pure class.

2. Nigel Owens at his best

“I’m straighter than that one”
Nigel Owens is openly gay and campaigns for bullying, but that does mean he’s above being self-deprecating. During a dodgy Harlequins line-out he told the hooker, in a roundabout way, he best get his throws together.

3. An angry JPR Williams

"No leadership, no ideas. Not even enough imagination to thump someone in the lineup when the ref wasn't looking.
I think every rugby fan has felt like this after a game, but JPR does have a fantastic way with his words/

4. Anonymous fax

"Remember that rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to Jonah." 
FAX to the All Blacks before the 1995 World Cup semi-final.

5. Brian Moore's gnashers

"I think Brian Moore's gnashers are the kind you get from a DIY shop and hammer in yourself. He is the only player we have who looks like a French forward."
