The RugbyHeads World Cup '99 Photo Archive
Brian Woolley (Tonga)
The Tongans have become
somewhat infamous at this World Cup for rather "over-vigorous" tackling... Here
is a prime example that was missed by the ITV camera crews (along with numerous other
events, but we won't go there!). Just minutes into the England vs Tonga pool match, Brian
Woolley climbed enthusiastically into a swede-and-all tackle, ripping Lawrence Dallaglio's
head clean off! He is pictured here just seconds before he expertly punted Lawrie's scone
forty metres up the park and into touch near the corner flag. |
