Maro Itoje shows us how to win the breakdown

England rugby star Maro Itoje has given us a lesson in the breakdown, with the help of Mike Brown and Jack Nowell.

Itoje has been one of the star players of the 2016 Six Nations as the 21-year-old continues to produce barnstorming performances.

Itoje was superb in the 25-21 win over Wales last weekend, not only at the lineout where he put the very experienced Alun Wyn Jones under pressure, but all around the park where he carried well and produced 14 tackles  - the most of any English player on the day.

Itoje was also very productive around the breakdown and with the help of Brown and Nowell, shows exactly what is needed to be a breakdown specialist.
