Can't even ground the ball FFS

Is that Richie Spedding?

Give over, that's the very definition of finger tip control.

T-R-Y for mine

Not when he's practically got the corner flag inside him

Who is it ?

OK I'll agree on the no try, but I'm still saying he grounded it!

I always remember Laurie Daley being interviewed on Breakfast TV during one Aussie tour (or maybe World Cup). The conversation with the BBC stiff in the studio went along these lines:

BBC Stiff: "Luarie, can you explain the difference between Rugby League and Rugby Union?"

Laurie Daley: "Rugby What?"

Shane Williams, the Wales winger.

The best winger in either code of rugby at the minute by a clear distance IMO.

That post has just lost £24,000,000,000 but has Sir Freddie quiped 'it's only money.'

I see RBS are still continuing with their Six Nations sponsorship until the end of the current contract in 2010, despite pulling out altogether from F1 leaving Williams to find around £10m a year in lost revenue.

Nice to know that as RBS shareholders our public money is being ploughed into the competing Unions.

If he could catch, or turn, or indeed run more than ten yards he'd be lethal...

Am I right in thinking his first name means 'Scum' in his native language?

They're staying with Williams until the end of their contract in [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/7911039.stm2010[/url, but stopping all trackside advertising after this year.

I'm guessing the F1 stuff is due to existing contracts, which they'd have to pay for anyway, but of course that doesn't stop questions being raised about the 6 Nations sponsorship.

he may be the best winger, I've not seen enough of him to comment, but the best player? Do me a favour. Wrong position. With positions so specialist in Union, if anyone from that code would be there, it would have to be a centre, number 8 or fly-half I would say.

Under the ELV's the touching the corner flag is not classed as being out of play. They are basically there for show only these days in Rugby Union.

I once saw a quote in a book, (can't remember who said it), and it went something like:

"If I played Rugby Union now, I could keep playing till I'm old and frail"
"If I played Rugby league, I wouldn't last 5 minutes"

Something like that

Then there's "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people....."

And 'Yawnion is a [is[/ihit game, played by..........'

Complex game played by......

Particle physicists?

Terry Holmes once said on Look North that the only things League had in common with Union were the ball and the posts.
