A proud day for the parish, and Davids everywhere.

The lads at Fox Sports are back with another great top five, this time focussing on big guy v little guys. For the first four in this countdown, the big guy most definitely comes out on top, with some huge mismatches resulting in a  lot of pain for the little guys. But then, at No 1, sits the greatest little man of all, our own Peter Stringer. His takedown of All Black behemoth Jonah Lomu tops this list and we can't quibble with the pick. According to the stats, the Munster man was giving up 26cm in height and a staggering 47kg but he still brought the big man down during an Ireland game against New Zealand. Hats off Peter, yet more well deserved credit for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTf7eo0zEUU&feature=youtu.be
