Courtney Lawes (born 23 February 1989 in Hackney, England)[1] is a professional rugby player for Northampton Saints, who play in the Aviva Premiership. Lawes is a versatile player, equally at home in the second and back rows. Indeed, he is the very epitome of the modern rugby forward, more akin to a basketball player thanks to an athletic 6ft 7in, 115kg frame. Lawes is also a true local Northampton boy, raised within a stone's throw from Franklin's Gardens. Lawes is another member of the Saints Academy off the famed production line of Northampton Old Scouts, the same club that produced his former team mate Rob Milligan as well as Ben Cohen and Steve Thompson amongst others. Lawes has won England representative honours for the U18 and U20 sides and won his first senior cap against Australia in November 2009.
