News about Lewis Moody

INTERVIEW BY JONATHAN ROSE: Everybody recalls Jonny Wilkinson's extraordinary drop goal, which etched English rugby into the history books forever. Steve Thompson's limp at the back of the lineout, and the ball is immediately dropped into the hands of scrum-half Matt Dawson. If 'Mad Dog' hadn't won that line-out, would England have gone on to lift the Webb Ellis Cup at the Telstra Stadium in Sydney? With the Rugby World Cup in France fast approaching, Moody has no doubt that it takes to win rugby's biggest prize. Ex teammate Steve Borthwick is now aware of the man who was supposed to lead England through the tournament.

CHRIS FOY - WORLD OF RUGBY: Raffi Quirke prompted Sale to a dramatic victory at Leicester on Saturday, providing further proof that England has a slew of riches in what was clearly a losing proposition. The 21-year-old scrum-half's first appearance since April turned into a stunning statement of intention. After Joe Carpenter cracked open the home defence, Quirke tried to get a break and deft off-load and launched a try. He was threatening and aggressive, but also a good soldier in defense, resulting in a try-saving tackle on Matt Scott.
