That legendary James Haskell tackle on David Pocock has been watched 1m times

The England flanker announced his sides arrival in Australia with a huge hit on Wallabies star David Pocock…

The video is worth it for Brian Moore’s chortle alone as the commentator can’t contain himself when big Phil Vickery knocks Olivier Magne clean off his feet.

The 89-cap French flanker carries the ball from deep inside his own half but the foray is ended swiftly by Vickery, as the 19st prop performs a textbook smash. Raging Bull at his finest.

The Wales centre tried to use the wet ground to slide over the line after a slick backline move from Wales. But with the line inches away, Sam Underhill came flying across to grab his legs and take him into touch. Phenomenal.

The England fly-half welcomed Wallaby Matt Giteau to the Rugby World Cup final in 2003 with this tackle.

The second-row makes a huge tackle on France outhalf Jules Plisson just as he passes the ball during the 2015 Six Nations.

England’s renowned enforcer timed his hit to perfection – or illegally hit the France fly-half late, depending how you look at it – during the incredible 55-35 Six Nations victory at Twickenham. 

Rogers magnanimously said of the bosh: “That one was like getting run over. I think that hit will take the crown as the biggest ever. I just remember lying there writhing in pain, unable to breathe… It left me with broken ribs… I guess Josh taught me a hard lesson.”
