Jason Leonard OBE
Rugby Speakers

Jason played his early rugby with Barking before joining Saracens with whom he won a Courage League Division Two title in 1989/90.

After playing with the England Colts, he won 'B' caps against Fiji and France 'B' before touring Argentina with the senior squad in 1990 when he played in both tests and then during the 1990/91 season he left Saracens to join Harlequins.

Jason had been a regular in the side ever since and is now England's most capped forward with 97 caps. He had to stop playing after England clinched their second consecutive Grand Slam against Wales in 1992 because of a ruptured disc in his back which required surgery. He was out of the game for three months but made a full recovery and returned to rugby at the start of the following season without missing a game for England.

During the 1996/97 season, he captained the side against Argentina, marking the occasion by scoring his first and only international try.
