[QUOTE="oj121, post: 932630, member: 54867"] What do you class as quick though? Plus Williams isnt a winger, just a 15 used out wide. How slow is halfpenny? Not overly. Quicker than the likes of brown and kearney for instance. He is slower than he used to be but a lot of his 'lack of pace' is down to him not really attacking anymore. When he came on the scene he was rapid. Anyone remember the Blues try in the Anglo Welsh from his 22? If you just go back to the lions tour and watch Williams you will see he has a really good turn of pace. He burnt Dagg who isnt considered slow. Williams just has an odd gait which makes him look like he isnt moving until you look at those around him. His bandy legs really make him look laboured but look at the people he leaves standing and you realise a lot of it is running style. Id fancy him against the likes of Nowell and Ashton in a 1 on 1. Id fancy may against any of the British sprint team atm so he is an exception. As wingers go Williams is midway internationally for out and out, as a 15 he is in the top 25% realistically. Theres a lot more to wingplay than out and out pace though. I do think Adams needs to play vs May as I think North will get left for dead. [/QUOTE]
