Ben Foden gets the better of Stephen Jones' hit

As we know, England won the game 26-19. You can view /spana style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2011/02/toby-flood-steers-england-to-victory.html"highlights here/aspan style="font-weight: bold;". /spanbr /br /Foden took a bit of stick after his comments about Wales ahead of the game, but to his credit, he backed up his words with another impressive performance, once again showing that for a relatively small guy, he's got serious upper body strength.br /br /We saw in in the autumn too, where because of his willingness to run the ball from anywhere, he's developed a great offloading game and has become good and retaining possession when taking it into contact.br /br /We've actually got interview time with him later today, so we'll have an interview up on the site on Saturday probably, and hopefully have a few comments from him about this collision, where Stephen Jones came out of nowhere to smash him but got the worse of the two.br /br /In fact Jones didn't look right for some time after that, showing signs that despite being helluva tough, he was perhaps more affected than he let on. For Wales' game this weekend, James Hook has been brought in at number ten, which will no doubt improve their backline formations and attacking threats, which was a major problem against England.br /br /Foden says that England are now a team in form, that others must look to and realise that they're a serious contender for the title. "I think people will have taken notice of that (win). Wales are a good side and to go down there and beat them on their own turf is a good achievement," he said.br /br /Some of you wanted to see this incident again, so here you go. Do you think Jones' technique was poor, Foden's strength did the damage, or it was just one of those freak occurrences?br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lw6F49zKkdw?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lw6F49zKkdw?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /div style="text-align: center;"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;":: Related Posts ::/spanbr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2010/03/ben-foden-charge-floors-big-ally.html"Ben Foden charge floors big Ally Kellock/abr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2009/10/henry-tuilagi-absolutely-smashes-ben.html"Henry Tuilagi absolutely smashes Ben Foden/abr //span/divspan style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span01:15/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-6040451143319182173?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divpa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wms1J13CFD5_gr87Ey0lKB6G_2A/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wms1J13CFD5_gr87Ey0lKB6G_2A/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wms1J13CFD5_gr87Ey0lKB6G_2A/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wms1J13CFD5_gr87Ey0lKB6G_2A/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=hog5ismgZBE:Y1lgABFJzAw:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/hog5ismgZBE" height="1" width="1"/ More...
