Absolutely brilliant all round player, don't think he gets appreciated enough by England fans and non-England fans alike
Believe me England fans appreciate everything he’s done. It’s non England fans he gets the stick from
@@danielbrown6566 I agree
He has been out of the England set up for long periods and during those gaps we've seen the likes of Itoje etc come in and do great things... England has quite an abundance of second row/back rows so, I'd say hes appreciated, just not head an shoulders ahead of anyone else..
Such a common statement
But as a saints fan hes always been appreciated
Yes! Finally an up to date video on a master of his craft!
The most impressive piece of play I've seen from Lawes is when he released Chris Ashton for THAT 2010 try against Australia. When England got the turnover on their own line and Youngs breaks and passes to Lawes it would have been so easy for Lawes to run it into touch or just go for the safe ruck/maul. But he straightened up, made ground, sucked in two Australians, one of whom was the winger who should have been covering Ashton and timed his pass to Ashton beautifully. Remember, he'd only won his first senior cap the previous Autumn. Ashton scored the spectacular try, but it was largely down to Lawes.
Absolutely spot on! Everyone remembers the Ashton try, which was spectacular no doubt, but it was Youngs and then Lawes who was the chief architect behind that try
Excellent highlight reel. People are always whinging that he is just hitting tiny half backs late. The fact is that he is already committed and that it’s his job to put these key decisions makers in doubt and on edge.
This is the best video on him I have seen
also, who wants to watch a video of a player making normal standard tackles
I often wonder what an opposition 10 feels like when, after 60-65 minutes of being targeted by the likes of Underhill, Curry and Itoje one of them is substituted. For Courtney Lawes....
They probably feel sore. Very sore
Giving some lippy 9 or 10 a proper squashing warms the cockles of every forward's heart. Happy Christmas!
Great video! Can you make a compilation of everyone losing their sh*t at him being played at six over the years but then him still putting an absolute shift in
He’s not just a Biffer but very skilled player him and Maro in the second Row
Legend. One of England’s greatest ever.
Amazing that as h got older he got better and went from 2nd row to back row.
Love that one on Bastereaud - he’s probably thinking “sacre-bleugh! I zeem to be ‘ead-ing in zer wrong de-rect-zion!?”
This had be laughing out loud 😂
One of the great things about Lawes is his body position after he's made these massive tackles - he's released and on his feet challenging for the ball or he's in a position to chase down where the ball has been offloaded to and make another tackle
Outstanding player,so underrated
Absolute work horse. love how this video showcases his skill and not just his killer defense💪🏽
I remember that hit against the French outhalf. My pal was calling for a red card. I was trying to explain that 115kg second rows arent born with air brakes
Actually laughed out loud!
Great player, shame he got injured before the ANC. Joe launchbury is playing the best he's ever played right now but lawes is just too good to afford him starting xv. (Not a flanker though)
We have missed Courtney Lawes this autumn despite winning everything. He will be a massive boost to England for the 6 nations.
And Manu
Like an exocet missile, always looked forward to Lawes in an England shirt as he always gave one awsome tackle in a game
And about 15 other regular ones and 10+ carries . He is on of the best locks in the world IMo
@@scott4724 Indeed, superb player that amy national team would pick!
His athleticism, technique and timing made him an absolute menace. He is the sort of player you'd be really glad to have on your side rather than the opposition.
His technique is really good too
We won’t have anyone like him for a long time
He will back in the squad when he’s fit again. A consistent player with great versatility.
I was looking at his playing record for England, he pretty much hasn’t missed a game in the last 3 years when fit!
@@AndrewDavidForde Eddie Jones loves a bruiser. He is very good though. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes the Lions.
@@thereader6667 Agreed, I think I'd have him in my Lions squad.
Some of these hits are out of this world. He absolutely flattens guys. However it’s clean, what makes it even more special. There’s nothing that can be done against this man, just hope he’s on your team
Great video Andy merry Christmas 🎄
Anyone else feel a great sensation whenever he smashed Farrell? 🤣
Loved it!!
I just used to think he was amazing at defence and consistent at line outs. A few seasons ago they told him to put on a stone of weight. Ever since he’s become so much better at attacking
I've not been able to verify this but I've seen it said that lawes has only ever given away 1 high tackle penalty, on his debut for northampton. I don't know if its true but I can't remember a single one
Absolute weapon. He tackles hard but keeps it clean. Other "hard men" often shoulder charge, do cheap shots, or don't wrap, but Courtney seems to have it down.. One might argue over his timing though.
Great video mate. Thanks
this man should be in the team of the decade instead of Whitelock
rock solid for england for the whole decade
He’s been a good servant to English Rugby 🏉
1:30 is quite possibly the scariest thing in rugby I’ve ever seen
I'm Australian and a Brumbies fan. I wish he'd have played with us.
Great Video- wonder if we'll ever see him in an England shirt again
Why wouldn't he play for England again? The last time he wasn't involved with England when fit was June 2017, as he was on the Lions tour - other than that he's been involved in all games when available, whether that be starting or off the bench.
@@AndrewDavidForde after itoje and launchbury played so well in the Autumn and younger players coming through, he might find it tough to regain his place. Especially if Eddie Jones is looking forward to the next world cup (I know he'll be 34 so still be at a good level but will certainly be past his best)
Doesn't pack that much muscle but fck...sometimes my body hurts just by watching him do stuff
It’s all muscle, he has a really low body fat percentage.
@@brandonpye8757 what i meant was muscle mass sorry but yea u right
You should see his uncle Ratch when he played rugby!
great video
As most of the great rugby players and athletes decline as they get older, Courtney seems to get better not only as a player but as a leader.
Merry Christmas to my rugby fans!!!!
Rugby
Correct!
@@AndrewDavidForde yay
poor farrel lmao
I know him
I was at the french game w
That first hit... yeah it's a legal tackle, but the way the 10 landed neck first should have warranted a stoppage for assessment.
Don't worry play was stopped for quite a while after that hit
If James Hook had a forward equivalent, it would be Courtney Lawes
Starting lion if he's recovered from his injury imo
@Tom definitely Itoje, but the others I disagree. James Ryan isn't as good but believe he will get there, Kruis is better at set piece and launchberry also very good and should be on the tour but Lawes is much better all round, can play 6 as well and brings the physicality you'll need against SA.
What’s the track?
Sail - by awolation or something like that
@@lucamerriman460 Spot on! Many thanks!
@@bobjames5781 no problem, merry Christmas
Mr. Soft hands
who loved the shot he pulled off against Owen Farrell
Wheres his hit on Sean O'Brien tho
Can u pls do a Phil godman video
@Tom what that mean
The bloke should be a chiropractor, resetting flyhalves backs all day!
The EVIL COURTNEY LAWS xD as i used to call him
Jugador sucio siempre tackleando a destiempo
Tell me a time he got sent off or banned ever.
human spanner
He’s just hyper athletic
Best Lawes memory is Scott Williams stripping him and scoring winner in 2012
King of the late tackle. In nearly every instance, the ball has been passed, so his tackle is of no use. I wouldn't be surprised to see him sent off against Wales, if he plays.
This aged terribly. Man has never been carded for foul play and has one of the best tackle techniques these days
Just Lawes hitting some backs. Easy to bully the smaller players. Not one big hit on a front row player.
Technically Bastareaud played number 8 for Toulon and is heavier than many of the forwards
You can watch the Boks highlights where he regularly tackled props, Etzebeth, Kolisi etc.
A lot of his hits are on 9/10 or another light player (winger or fullbacks). And a lot are late. I know it is his style and i know that he is good in other things. But, from my view, this guy got a lack of bravery. It is easy for a guy of this size to hit hard skinny guys. I know that it is a tactical mouvement to harass the 10, but still, i find it very cheap.
Rubbish. Reason you don't see other plays putting such big hits on 9/10 is because they can't get close to them. Courtney does and more importantly gets his timing right pretty much every time.
Shows you don't watch much rugby then. A lot of the highlights are lighter players because lighter players go flying and that's more entertaining in highlight reels. But the man puts in more graft than most players in full games, and often ends up as the last man to make a tackle because he runs harder than others.
Just against the Boks for the Lions he took down Nche, Etzebeth, Kolisi down regularly
Not English
I mean he is, what you basing that on?
Thanks for sharing that your not English.....
