[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 203889"] Nice one............not! When you say owned, you mean get injured within the first 15min (can't remember how long it was), when I say injured I mean illegally spear tackled (allegedly). Great start............... He was a great player in 2005, better still pre 2005. But I'm not so sure about him for next year, there's better options. For me Shanklin's top of the pile. Yes I know he had a poor SA tour, but if there's a creative 12, someone like Henson to bring out the best in him, then there's few better! I know he has his flaws, he's not all that creative on his own,showing why Henson's so important to Wales and him, players like Parker or even Jamie Roberts nullify his attacking abilities. He also lacks top notch distribution skills, emphasised v Scotland (I think) in this years 6 nations when he created room for Shane, but threw an appalling forward pass! Problem is, there are verry limited options at 13 in Britain & Ireland, so at this point in time, Shanklin is my choice, maybe (hopefully) O'Driscoll will regain some form (Henson, O'Driscoll midfiled partnership would be amazing to see, though not sure how they'd get along!), if he does, it'll be good news for Irish rugby and for the Lions. Problem is, I don't see it happening................ do you? [/QUOTE]
