Josh Lewsey's try saving tackle on Jean De Villiers


In the first test against England in Nov 2006, The Springboks’ Jean De Villiers got yet another trademark intercept, but he unfortunately wasn’t able to capitalise on it.

Instead of finishing the try by stepping inside or flicking the ball to Ndungane, he decided to back himself, but was shown up excellently by the covering Josh Lewsey.

Brilliant try saving tackle, but to be honest, I think Lewsey would have been shocked De Villiers stuffed it up so badly. Bad mistake. Great result for the English.

Postponed coach Andy Robinson getting fired, for a week or so anyway.
