Well, one of them, anyway.

Ben Cohen reveals that he's legally deaf and couldn't hear when anyone called for him to pass.

I've known a few wingers like that, alhough their hearing always seemed to pick up when you were in the bar and offering them a pint.

ETA. Hopefully no-one saw the first iteration of this post where I'd accidentally typed that he was legally dead. Would explain his form at Sale though.

I would never in a million years have guessed he was England's second highest try scorer. To be fair, I guessed at who was #1 and got that wrong anyway!

Here's a game: guess who the top try scorer is for each 6N/RC nation (all time). I'll put the answers on the stats thread so you can check your own work (or cheat, it's your conscience not mine). I got 5/10.

Can you be declared legally dead with an IQ of 0?

Does anyone remember Cohen even looking to pass much? I just assumed he was a typical English player and a bit of an unco
