		This will be long because Jason is big: a lump of a prop, grand of character and about to win his one hundredth cap for England.
		I once asked Keith Wood, Leonard's team-mate and mate at Harlequins, what it was that the club lacked, what it was that kept them season in, season out at the wrong end of the table.
		Leonard may be scampering around like a youngster, but he remains no stranger to darker arts, as such.
