See, the Welsh flyer can be brought to ground…

A few days ago, Northampton played Harlequins at Franklin’s Gardens and the Saints won handy enough, 23-9. Wales and Lions wonder George North was the main man for the home side, scoring the vital first try early in the second half.

But midway through the second half, an trademark North run is brought to a shuddering halt by a perfect tackle by England prop Joe Marler.
