ENGLAND skipper Courtney Lawes scored the “worst try in history” – to leave fans in stitches and Japan in tatters.
Lawes danced through to touch down during the tense Rugby World Cup group game – after it bounced forward off the HEAD of team-mate Joe Marler.
One viewer called it “the most England try ever”.
And another – with a ‘head’ for stats – joked: “Joint most try assists for England at the RWC – @JoeMarler’s Mohawk”.
It was certainly Marler more than Lawes who appeared to be auditioning for a Red Nose rather than playing for the Red Rose.
