Shane Williams Hurdle

[freestylepigeon]

Rob Burrow or Shane Williams?

[UrbanRedBull]

Not taking anything away from his brilliance, but wouldnt that be considered 'jumping into the tackle', therefore a penalty to the opposition?

[diiirtygoal]

@UrbanRedBull should be mate. i thought the same. 

[ronaldinhollew]

@UrbanRedBull He jumped out of the tackle. Had Ojo made contact with Williams it would have been a penalty for London Irish. However, the fact that Shane dodged the contact meant it was a superb piece of individual skill!

[micjozz]

how tall is shane williams???

[mattjeffreys101]

@micjozz 5.9 :)

[micjozz]

@mattjeffreys101 he is tall then..i tought he was like 5.3 i dont know why..he looks pretty short

[mattjeffreys101]

@micjozz 5.9 is quite short for a rugby player and he is probably the shortest player on the ospreys team so ye :)

[micjozz]

@mattjeffreys101 i agree with you..for the average international rugby player he is short..most of the guys are from 6.2 and more..

[mattjeffreys101]

@micjozz ye exactly :)

[micjozz]

@mattjeffreys101 international rugby is sooo competitive

[meskell02]

Offence was the knock on, not the hurdle. Sky have rubbish commentators who haven't got a clue.

[daviesonly]

pretty sure there was no tackle.. haha

[ospreys86]

I was there that night I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed, from memory I remember him jumping much higher? I must have been confused with all the adrenaline lol

[schnozz87]

You can't jump into a tackle, I'm not sure there's a rule against jumping OVER tackles...

[Yankman08]

@schnozz87 Yes there is, it's still technically jumping into a tackle even if it's missed.

[chrissy4df]

Yes you are allowed ti jump not feet first though u fanny

[diiirtygoal]

i thought you weren't allowed to jump into the tackle??

[Olyapp]

@diiirtygoal he didn't get tackled did he. But no, you are right. You are not allowed to jump into tackles.

[ronaldinhollew]

Taught Ojo a lesson in fine wing-play.

That's so original, so creative. Nobody in rugby would ever have thought of leaping over Ojo in that situation.

[WESTLONDONTAFFY]

MAGIC..

[Talizman95]

Every1 who has seen him play live knows he can turn nothing into something and if he has made a shit decision some how he turns it into something special ........ Only Shane Williams :))

[closertofiftythanyew]

American footie don't mind a bit of hurdling too. Why is it in wrong in rugger - baffles me, strange rule.

Must have been made up by a fat ex-prop administrator in the distant past.

[thestu21]

@closertofiftythanyew i think the rule is that it's illegal to jump into a tackle because it's pretty dangerous, not to hurdle as such - but what's the difference, at that speed anything can happen. but the knock on was given here in any case, not a penalty.

[closertofiftythanyew]

@thestu21

anyway, ballet dancing in welsh rugby always works, since we are the actual artists of brit and ireland rugby,

youtube copy and paste, loser,

[closertofiftythanyew]

@thestu21

Dancing Williams should have been born in dance a trooupe land like this - I am sure he would have done well, for whatever, but maybe not..

[Advancedape]

I'm pretty sure Andy Marinos hurdled somebody back in the day, for Newport or Wales?

[Austin333]

Should have had a talking to for that, he has a habit of it.
