[QUOTE="monkeypigeon, post: 268768"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Cymro @ Jun 24 2009, 12:16 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=402195']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> NO THANK YOU! Byrne will be fit apparently ... sources in SA tell me so. Think Shaw will start in front of O'Callaghan and Wyn-Jones will be on the bench for the Lions. Williams will start ahead of Wallace purely on the fact that he wins ball on the floor more than Wallace and he Williams also plays as an extra back. Heaslip is lucky there are no other quality 8's on tour because he has been poor. Shane Williams I felt had the better game tonight that Fitzgerald so I do well see him starting or at least getting a shout on the bench. [/b][/quote] If Byrne is ft he'll probably start. Shaw ahead of O'Callaghan for power but nothing else in my opinion. Not much between Walalce and Williams as always. But I object to Crymo on two points Heaslip was anonymous in match and that was behind a retreating scrum that Sergio Parisse would have struggled to do anything from. And Shane Williams did better in the match today than he has in previous tour matches but he also lost the ball near the end of the second half and was totally absent on his wing for the second try. What the hell was he doing arseing around in the centre? Besides one poor kick Fitzgerald was better. He Didn't force anything. Made a nice break and made what was possibly a try saving tackle in what looked like a very high tackle count. [/b][/quote] Blatant Munster tinted glasses I see. Earls ran into Williams for that second try and stop him making the tackle, S4C coverage mentioned this. He was also moved onto the opposite wing second half which he is never comfortable in. Sorry are you also forgetting Williams managed to rip that ball in the tackle? Turn over to save an attempt at a try by the Boks? Nit picking at losing the ball in the second half shows that you are really lacking in any attack towards Williams. And he had to come into the centre to stop the tackler but as I said Earls got in his way! Heaslip has been poor on tour yes hes played ok in games but he was truly poor in the First Test. [/b][/quote] Heaslip has played been the best backrow outside of Ferris adn Croft on tour so you clearly have it in for him or something. Nothing to do with Munster tinted glasses when Williams pushes earls out of the line in teh sudden desparation to get back to where he should be. And how quick every WElsh person is to forgive you of **** rugby from Williams and an epically **** tour by one match where he was little better than average. [/QUOTE]
