@Nepia both sides ozzed consistency. Lindisfarne consistently got a hiding....
Now there's a contradiction in terms! Oz and Consistency

Bummer he couldn't finish his career on his own terms. Had a pretty decent career RWC win and 60 tests, a Super rugby win (?) with the Evil Empire, the Highlanders, and of course the highlight of his career playing for the Magpies.
Yes - he played in the 2017 Final!
-
He had a weird old career. His comeback after being dropped from the RWC was one of the more pleasant surprises in recent times. As others have said Highlanders and early AB Dagg was by far the best version of him.
Just a shame we never got to see him sport the 10 jersey, oh well I hope he gets all the Advanced Hair Studios money going...

Played 66 tests, 60 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses.
Never lost to Australia, Ireland or France.
2 vs South Africa, 1 each vs England and the BIL.
Every AB finishes their career having never lost to Ireland. I mean they’ve never beaten us. At least not since I last checked the stats round about the 4th November 2016.

Beautiful ball-runner, one of the most elusive we’ve seen. Super memories, thank you Israel.

Best of luck to the Bald Eagle. Part of the 2011 World Cup Bomb Squad - ohhhh what a memory.

And of course...
This is the try that it's my brain every time I hear his name. Was awesome
Hard to believe that was 9 years ago!

thats right, and he copped shit for celebrating too early and running to close to the dead ball line...tough crowd.

Echo other posters thoughts, fantastic AB and a top bloke to boot (pun!).
I remember going into bat for him when that accountant started making a claim for the 15 jumper. Always thought his boot was an absolute weapon and when fit he was so dangerous with ball in hand.
One of the moments of his career for me was when he wore the black shirt again after missing the RWC15. I was just so happy for him at the time and it really spoke volumes of his attitude and character.
Go well Izzy, you've done us proud over the years.

Anyone got a clip of him scoring against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2010? Probably the most satisfying try I have watched.
How about the one rubbed out by the dodgy TMO interference in SA? That was classic home town bollocks
