Cohen doing what he does best
I reckon Ben Cohen is the best wing in the world at the moment. A strapping 6'2" tall and weighing in at 15 stone, he's got power as well as pace. Try holding this one back! He's got amazing acceleration. Once he feels the opposition breathing down his neck, he simply slips up a gear and streaks clear.
But what really fools the opposition is the angles of his running. He's got more angles than a geometry kit!
This allows him to slice through the defence like a knife through butter. And he's not content to while away his time out on the wing either. If the ball doesn't make its way out to him - he'll go looking for it. He's always looking for work. Watch him closely and you'll often see him popping up on the shoulder of the outside-half or the scrum-half. While most wingers score wide out by the corner flags, notice that a lot of Cohen's tries are scored around the base of the goalposts.
