Courtney Lawes career
Lawes made his Saints first team debut against Esher in the National One match of the 2007–08 seas on, which resulted in promotion, in October 2007.
The next year, he started to build a reputation for being a tough tackler, most notably in the 2015 Six Nations Championship match against France with a tackle on Jules Plisson and in the 2009 European Challenge Cup final against Bourgoin where he dislocated Morgan Parra’s shoulder.
Lawes started in the 2011 Heineken Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium as Northampton finished second behind Leinster in the following season. In March 2010, Lawes was a member of the team that defeated Gloucester to win the Anglo-Welsh Cup.
Although Leicester Tigers defeated Northampton in the Premiership final in May 2013, Lawes was a key contributor to Saints’ 2014 victories over the Premiership and the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
The Challenge Cup was theirs after they overcame Bath at Cardiff Arms Park, and the Premiership was theirs after they defeated Saracens the next weekend.
Louis Picamoles, a teammate, won the Saints Supporters’ Player of the Season award in 2016–17 instead of Lawes.
In 2007, Lawes traveled to Australia with the England Under 18s after being named an England representative for the U18 team. Due to an injury, he was unable to participate in the 2008 U20 Six Nations, although he did participate in the IRB Junior World Championship.
When the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship took place in Tokyo in the summer, Lawes started for the England Under 20 squad, which lost to New Zealand in the championship game.
Lawes was chosen for the England Saxons team in July 2009, and on October 26, 2009, head coach Martin Johnson gave him his first call-up to the senior England team.
He replaced Louis Deacon for the final twelve minutes of England’s 18-9 loss against Australia at Twickenham on November 7, 2009, marking his first appearance for the national team. He started in their quarterfinal defeat to France and was a member of the squad for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Lawes was still chosen by Lawes’ new coach Stuart Lancaster after the World Cup, and in December 2012, he took part in a victory over New Zealand. He was chosen for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and took part in two pool games against Wales and Fiji as the hosts were eliminated before the knockout round.
Lawes took part in the Six Nations Championship in 2016, the year when England won their first Grand Slam in over ten years. On England’s 2016 tour of Australia, he started all three tests from the bench. Later that year, he scored his first try for his country when he faced South Africa in his fifty-first match.
The team for the 2019 Rugby World Cup included Lawes. As England placed second, he started each of the three knockout games against Australia in the quarterfinal, New Zealand in the semifinal, and South Africa in the championship.
Lawes was a part of the 2020 Six Nations Championship-winning team. Lawes led England for the first time against Tonga on November 6, 2021.
