Peter Jackson: As nomadic journeys go, Ben Te’o’s takes some beating

At the last official count two years ago, England had 2,057,797 rugby players, almost 50 percent more than the rest of Europe combined.

With the champions floundering and time at Twickenham running out, Ben Te’o shot off the bench and turned his first touch into the winner 96 seconds later.
