He may be called Teddy, but Racing Metro and France winger Teddy Thomas is anything but soft, as this video of him becoming the meat in a George North and Samu Manoa sandwich proves.

Extremely elusive in tight spaces, the winger’s progress down the near side was halted by the combined might of Samu Manoa and George North, who, in a pincer movement, converged on Thomas.

Fortunately, neither North or Manoa clashed heads and Thomas was unscathed, despite being hit from either side by two of the most powerful men in Northern Hemisphere Rugby.

This weekend, George North put in a virtuoso performance befitting of his exulted status within the game; scoring four tries against the Ospreys in the European Champions Cup.

The former Scarlet exhibited all his strength, power & try scoring instincts, particularly for his last score.

Remember this? How could you forget?

During the 2013 Lions Tour, George North, who is still yet to be confirmed as human, picks up 102kg of world class full back named Israel Folau and decided to go for a jog with the Australia upon his broad shoulders.

There will forever be moments synonymous with Lions tours; O’Driscoll’s try in 2011, Guscott’s drop goal in 1997, and, in 2013, George North’s massive carry of Israel Folau

Seismologists, watch this clip of Joe Marler smashing George North and fill your boots.

The sheer force and expended energy of the loose-head’s hit on the Welsh winger was sure to have sent tremors reverberating around the earth’s surface.

It was during a Premiership match between Saints and Quins last season, North, as he typically does, looked to go on a barnstorming run but was stopped dead in his tracks by the unusually haired prop, Joe Marler.

Now, it’s not often that the gargantuan winger will be stopped so abruptly when he’s cantering at full pace, so Marler deserves credit for the timing and the power of the tackle.
