[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 526298, member: 48703"] You serious? They would have dropped the 2007-2008 Shane who scored 14 tries in 11 matches that season, just so they could have a big bosher. Back in 2001-2003 period, Henry and Hansen picked players like Craig Morgan and Tom Shanklin (as a winger) ahead of Shane ([URL="http://www.espnscrum.com/statsguru/rugby/match/24506.html"]there was even one match where Matthew Watkins and Jamie Robinson were preferred wingers ahead of the greatest little man of the professional era[/URL]). But they were looked so stupid by their choice when Shane came in and was great in the RWC 2003. Surely it would Gatland wouldn't have been silly enough to drop Shane in his prime for a decent big fast guy who just runs straight. [/QUOTE]
