[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 77841"] A retired hero..? Hmmm! I always thought that Bill Young, like most current Australian front-rowers always flattered to deceive. BY was never actually that good - he would not have, during the time that he played, got anyway near any of the other big five nations front rowers and benefited from an era in which Australia front-row play was particularly weak. Whenever I think of him I think of the front row that got smashed and destroyed by England in 2005. Did he play that day? I can't remember! He fooled the refs for a long, long time and as soon as he got discovered he got destroyed. It is a shame that injury has forced his retirement - no one likes to see that - and his contribution to Australian rugby should be appreciated. But a hero? Umm, no! [/QUOTE]
