[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 526309, member: 24910"] No Wales, wouldn't drop Shane Williams, but I think a 'preference for large backs' is a bit different to a 'preference for 10 man rugby'! A much better question would be: 'would South Africa pick Shane Williams' - I think the answer to that would be an emphatic no! I'm not suggesting that Argentina shouldn't be picking Imhoff (in fact, based on the little I have seen, would give him a shot over Agulla), I'm just suggesting that people need to realize that the teams game-plan has a massive influence on who the coaches pick. If Argentina was playing an expansive game plan where the wings were given space I think they would be mad to ignore Imhoff, but given the current gameplan, where the wings don't seem to get the ball in space, I can [I]understand[/I] why they would start more conservative options on the wing....
