Simon Shaw's career is a masterclass in longevity and consistency. He earned 71 England caps over 15 years, a remarkable feat for a forward, and toured with the British & Irish Lions three times, a rare honour. His club success with Wasps, including four Premiership titles and two European Cups, places him among the most decorated English locks of his era. His selection for the 2009 Lions at age 35 was a testament to his enduring quality, and his Top 14 title with Toulon at 40 showed he could still compete at the highest level.

AwardsShaw's trophy cabinet includes four Premiership titles, two European Cups, and an Anglo-Welsh Cup with Wasps, plus a Top 14 title with Toulon. He was named Players' Player of the Year at Wasps in 2003 and received an MBE for services to rugby.
