The other players in that team were not great players, but were able fully to function because of the strong spine.
Ben Cohen's fall from grace is the perfect illustration.
In 2003, Cohen was a fine world-class wing, but playing behind a pack that was nearly always on the front foot, and feeding off the distribution of Wilkinson and Greenwood.

 Ben Cohen: BigBugSports, career rugby management agents for Ben Cohen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Ben celebrated his first cap for England (against Ireland in the 2000 Six Nations) by scoring two tries and went on to become the joint leading try scorer in the competition that year.
Ben, at 26 years old, has become an England veteran with 46 caps and 29 tries in the last five years.
Ben was brought up in Northampton and although he has a strong football pedigree in his family - his uncle, George Cohen played football for Fulham and was in the England team that won the 1966 World Cup – opted to play rugby at the age of 12.

 Ben Cohen | www.somethingjewish.co.uk
Rugby star Ben Cohen may not officially be Jewish or a fully paid-up member of the tribe, but that doesn’t stop him from announcing that he has long-distance Yiddish roots.
Cohen was born in 1978 in Northampton, and comes from a long line of famous sporting relatives; his uncle, George (on his father’s side) was a member of the 1966 England World Cup Squad, and played for Fulham (whom Cohen also supports).
This should be a giveaway in itself, as a Cohen is a Jewish priest, and it’s hard to disagree that having Ben in the England team is a blessing, which no doubt helped towards England’s victory.

 SI.com - More Sports - 15 players to watch at the Rugby World Cup - Wednesday August 27, 2003 8:10AM
The Cornish-born player forms part of the bedrock of the English side and is often used as an impact player because of his ferocity in defencse and his bulldozing runs around the fringes.
This player will push the rules to the limits in order to stop the opposition from scoring and often expects to be sent to the sin bin.
A superb covering tackler, Cohen saved the game for England with a touchline tackle against the All Blacks on their last visit to Twickenham and has proven himself as the thorn in the Wallabies' side in their last two matches scoring two tries after surging breaks down the center.

 Observer | Cohen's tackle enough to make men of England
The tackle that Ben made on Ben, Cohen on Blair, the nephew of '66 World Cup George on the All Black full-back who is presumably no relation to Tone.
If Big Ben - I think it's fair to call him that - had not made the covering smother on very nippy little Ben, then we would by now be well into the process of ripping Clive Woodward and his five years to shreds.
Cohen, however, played for the rest of the game with a quality that hushed even the most flat-topped of the Shed-heads.

 New boy a picture of professionalism
As time went by and clothes went on and off, it became apparent that to interview Cohen right now is not merely to engage in conversation with a rugby player, but also to be invited to play one's own humble part in a cross-promotional opportunity uniting the car and clothing industries.
(Cohen never quite caught that bug and even now, despite the offer of tickets from his uncle, he has never been to a professional football match.) One day in his early teens, he took himself to a scouts game at Northampton and was invited back the next week.
To speak of Cohen as a member of rugby's new breed isn't only to wax awestruck about his ability to magnetise car dealerships and appoint as his "personal sponsor" a financial planning group (appropriately enough).

BEN COHEN is poised to cap a remarkable comeback by being named in England's starting line-up for next week's Twickenham showdown with Australia.
But the animated way in which he spoke about Cohen at England's Loughborough training base yesterday offered a strong indication that he feels the time is at long last right to bring the 27-year-old World Cup winner in from the cold.
Cohen's upgrade follows Robinson asking for a Player Cam to be trained on the Northampton wing in two different matches.

England International and Northampton rugby star, Ben Cohen, 23, recently visited Jaguar's Browns Lane headquarters in Coventry and scored a nifty conversion - to a new Jaguar X-TYPE.
Cohen, who is a keen motoring enthusiast, also took the opportunity to tour the heritage showroom at the Coventry site, and as a nephew to 1966 England football world cup hero, George Cohen, Ben was fascinated by the company's equally illustrious sporting heritage.
On his visit to Coventry, Cohen said: "The Jaguar is a fabulous brand that I am very proud to be associated with; the cars stand for everything a good rugby player strives to be: powerful and agile.

Ben Cohen, England's 6ft 3in winger, played a central role in the tournament, starting in all but one of the matches.
Inspired by his sporting hero and uncle, George Cohen, Ben set his heights high and achieved the ultimate rugby honour by competing with the victorious 2003 England team, in which he used his power, pace and tactical awareness to become one of their main strike weapons.
This fantastic, full-colour print captures that moment perfectly; the dazed Australian players on the left of the shot are the picture of dejection, as they try to absorb the enormity of their loss.

Tindall, forceful at the ruck and maul and a threat to all bar the sturdiest brick walls, is the modern-day muscular rugby player who has emerged from the gym.
When the well-drilled professional team of athletes meet talented rugby players who are physically overpowered, the result is the one we saw earlier on Saturday, when Northampton battered the Llanelli Scarlets (although the technical excellence of Bruce Reihana deserves a special mention).
However, when the barbell bruiser with the big heart meets the rugby player with adequate power and passion, the result is more often than not a win for mind over matter.

 Guardian Unlimited Sport | Rugby union | Richard Williams on the end of England's World Cup year
Of the returning heroes, Richard Hill and Ben Cohen were a whole squad in themselves.
Strenuous denials were issued during the tournament itself, and even now no one seems to be able to offer an explanation for the phenomenon, except to suggest that the best defences had done their homework.
But among the consequences of a conservative approach was a lack of ball for the powerful left-wing, who found himself unable to make the kind of impact of which this most confident and extroverted rugby player must have dreamed.

Cohen returns on the left wing with the prolific Mark Cueto on the right, forcing Josh Lewsey to revert to full-back and delaying the debut of Mark van Gisbergen, who starts on the bench.
Robinson hopes the return to form of Cohen will help lift them back towards the levels of 2003 when, at his peak, he was one of the most dangerous finishers in the game.
Cohen admitted he was physically and mentally exhausted last year and not enjoying his rugby.

 Xbox-Scene Online Web Community > Pro Rugby Vs. Nfl Players
Feb 24 2005, 08:34 PM I know many accounts of pro Rugby players suffering a 3 inch gash across thier cheek, or being knocked unconcious in the middle of a game, only to get stiched up in the locker rooms and be back out on the field finishing up the rest of the game.
For instance, Rugby players are conditioned for endurance and power, while NFL players are conditioned for immense blocking power and evasive sprints.
When trying to create a rugby lineup for an American football team, I like to put one wide reciever and one cornerback at wing and then a safety at fullback because the back three have to be strong both on offense and defense.

Down Under they play rugby too (don't all say 'never' at the same time) which allows me to show you the buff blondness that is Michael Monaghan in and out of his kit and Wade McKinnon out of his.
Rugby boys might not be great minds, might have slightly crossed eyes and gaping mouths, they might pose, but they can also be cute and wear kit that is very tight on them.

Ben Cohen of The North Team is tackled by George Gregan of The South Team.
It is always the fear during charity or exhibition matches that a player will suffer serious injury but for Cohen it is particularly galling as he had only just regained his place in the England team.
It is what makes rugby such an exciting game, though, and as noble and entertaining as these matches can be, they short-change the public if they turn into a Harlem Globetrotter type of circus.
