Then again, I recall him missing a tackle recently.
I would like to see him developed into an England centre. England has no shortage of wings and full-backs.
Edit: I think I saw some footage/criticism that what he did wrong was to try and go over/through the tackler, he'd come away from the touch-line and if he'd done the normally winger thinger of going back out he would have made it.Last edited by IR35 Avoider; 15 August 2011, 12:17.

No team has the right to claim that they should be the only ones to use a certain kit. Outrageous to even think it.
I do hope it irks them.

Even though England asked the NZRU first. And they are not the only team to do it.

The people in the Southern Hemisphere do all think that the Northern Hemisphere teams are pathetic.
But I will be more interested to see the local reaction to someone called Manu Tuilagi playing for England.

Originally posted by dang65 View PostI've only seen the Shane Williams tackle once, but didn't he kind of pull Banahan over towards him, using Banahan's weight to his own advantage, like some kind of Judo move? That's what it looked like to me. Got him off balance and pulled him down. It only just worked, but it was a good tackle.

I don't like to say these things about top players because I know something about what's involved in trying to reach that standard; I tried like hell and didn't make it. However, if I see a 6'7" 19 stone winger wearing an England shirt (I can't tell you how much I'd have given for that honour) with 5 yards to go to the line running upright into the tackle and being flattened by a man of 12 stone , I have to wonder why he bothered putting in all the training effort because it looks to me like he's lacking pride and doesn't seem to understand what it means to wear the shirt. FFS, in that situation it is all about aggression and the will to win. For just a second, ignore the whole world, get down low, pin back your ears, pump your legs and go for the bloody try line with such deadly aggression that anyone trying to stop you is either coming with you or going to bloody hospital.

The fact that our scrum went backwards against the touch rugby sheepshaggers is real cause for concern
