Is Shane Williams the Best Winger Ever?


Some of you might think I'm crazy, but just having watch him destroy the Scots, scoring two tries, I really think he could be the best ever. H requires only 11 more tries to become the leading try scorer in test matches. Only David Campese and some unknown Japanese person is in front of him (but the latter doesn't really count as he probably scored all his tries against weak opposition), and I really expect him to manage 11 tries before his retirement, even though it is quite a challenge.

Every time Shane Williams has the ball, you know something exciting's gonna happen, whether it be him skipping past three forwards and scoring or him handing the ball off cheekily to another teammate. In this modern world of rugby, which is becoming increasingly like american football, the game really needs exciting players like Williams to lighten up and to add some punch to an often boring game.

To be the best ever, you have to be better than people like Campese and Lomu but I really believe that Williams is. He has performed consistently throughout his whole career and really, he is quite unstoppable. What do you think? Is Shane Williams the best winger ever?
