Here are six of RUCK’s favourite England tackles from down years, starting off with Haskell’s legendary tackle on Pocock.
#6. James Haskell vs. David Pocock
The England flanker announced his sides arrival in Australia with a huge hit on Wallabies star David Pocock…
#5. Phil Vickery vs Olivier Magne
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.
