[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 691693, member: 20605"] No I don't unfortunately. There was a short piece in the Sports section of the 6pm TVNZ News on the day it happened. Some players were asked about it and they definitely said that the surface was a major contributing factor. Apparently, the footing was unpredictable; you would be running and you could either slip on the sandy surface or your studs could "catch" unexpectedly on one of the many ridges of grass. They said it sometimes got worse if you tried to sidestep or change direction suddenly. I have looked through the TVNZ sports news archives but haven't been able to find it. Also the footage of Williams' accident seems to have disappeared off the web. I have found a number of links to it and they are all dead. As I recall it, Williams did stumble just as he was tackled.
