His career straddled the amateur and professional eras, playing for Barking, Saracens , and Harlequins . He was first capped in 1990 against Argentina, and played a record 114 times for England, and 24 times (including 5 caps) for the British and Irish Lions. Most commentators believe that his record is unlikely ever to be beaten by another prop. Leonard was part of the England team that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup , coming on as a substitute in the final, adding what was regarded by many as a calming presence in the scrum. That was his fourth World Cup, and the second time he had appeared in the final, the first coming in 1991 when England lost to Australia. |
