Why ???
Do you think he is a thug who fights at any opportunity.
You do the Welsh proud.

Seawood just wants you to meet Joe because he's welsh and can celebrate being no1 at what he does. In fact he's been number one for over 10 years and welsh longer than that.

Why assume he wants him to fight you? If you met Graham Norton would you assume he fancied you.

Can we please try and keep this thread on topic and discuss Shane Williams, not random anti-Welsh/anti-English tangents instead?

ok lets try pro english and pro welsh and pro scots and pro irish

some of the best boxers ever-
in the dragons corner
jimmy wilde
tommy farr
howard winstone
jonny owen
calzaghe

in the english corner
lennox
eubank
cooper
benn
randy turpin

scots
stracey
buchanan
watt

irish
mcguigan
collins

athletics
best jumpers lyn davies and jon edwards
world class printers like wells, christie
best hurdler in wordl at the time jackson
endless marathon legends, mcolgan, steve jones, radcliffe
paralympian legends like tanni
greatest ever rowers redgrave pinsent cracknell and co

first man to climb everest

heck even darts and snooker we brits rule the world
of 37 years of world titles only 1 non brit has won it
english won approx 13
welsh won 9
scots won 10
irish won 4

darts again totally brit dominated current world champions webster of wales and a canadian but phil taylor with 13 and bristow with 5. taylor is arguably the most successful sportsman UK has ever produced

this is just sport we could start talking about, world class architects and inventors, alexander graham bell, brunel, lord rogers, john belle

it is precisely because of the intensity and passion we see and hear on these boards as to why britain has and does continue to produce pure talent from the british furnace

I've watched fourteen kids on a rugby pitch this afternoon try to emulate the greedy little Welsh git by running round in circles passing to no one, getting the TEAM nowhere! Why not look at Tom Shanklin? or Lee Byrne? Both of whom play for the team rather than grabbing a scoring record?Thinks.......Perhaps.....................with the current outburst of laser pens reeking havoc on sport perhaps no one will notice my little red spot on Shanes backside as he selfishly spurns yet another 3 to one overlap in favour of scoring himself? The 4ft in the air swan dive cut short by rule number .303! Another record safe!

Who shouted "Pull?"

Thank you Starburst.

Budster just think of your post and why the response.

Unfortunately for England for many years selectors have thought exactly the same as you and have scorned flair players in favour of the forward-based dirge your national team serve up too often.

Sorry but I hope some of those 14 make it to keep the entertainment as it should be.

Kids will follow what they deem to be a sucessful player. To many Shane is that player. The kids will follow the outrageous and emulate the unorthodox. If it grabs them that bit of individual glory.

An example outside Rugby would be Mr Malinga. shocking highlights, more bling in his eyebrows than I can fit on my finger and an arm as low as a Chinook rotor blade. Flair rather then talent?

They are the headline grabbers, the glory hunters. Flair players? Yes you need them but the forward dominated dirge that drove England to a world cup would at least provide the flair player with his opportunity. So called dull players have the talent to create the space and then, unselfishly allow his fancy dan colleague to finish.

Look to Martin Williams, Tom Shanklin and Lee Byrne. team players. Fourteen like them would do me!
