Habana is a prime example of an under-performer against New Zealand haha! As a Kiwi I think that if this guy was born in New Zealand, I think he'd probably be an All Black (from a Kiwi thats a pretty big compliment..). However I wouldn't go so far as to say he is the best. I hope you Welsh were watching the tour earlier on in 2010 ;)
Shane Williams IS one of the best players in the world. No other player has feet like his... anyone who says otherwise knows nothin about rugby :/. IRB World Player of the year 2008!
As for the comment that Shane never does anything against the Southern hemisphere teams....
He's scored quite a few times against the All-Blacks and has at times made them look like children. Last summer he scored one of the best tries I've ever seen against South Africa in Bloemfontein. He took out 4 Boks with one hip swerve! And he's always been great against the Aussies.
Habana might have the speed, but Shane's got the skill.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i aint saying hes a bad player.. cause he does have skill.. but hes no where near the best.. he has NEVER scored a try against the all blacks. he scored one try last year against the springboks and it wasn't that amazing. he had a huge open field with only one defender...habana.. who might is add is a pretty useless defender.
He scored 2 tries in that test series against SA. The first he left Habana on his ass and the second he took on 5 SA defenders and made them look like fools. Oh and he has scored against NZ. Check your facts before you start spouting off you fucking idiot.
@ronaldinhollew Yeah he really is quality, NOT!!!!!!!!!! he's fucking shithouse!!!!!!!! how well did he play in the 2005 lions tour? yeah not very well, because he's shit, he must've let in atleast 3 tries on his wing, he's pathetic.
@TheMorsey007 isn't it pretty pathetic that you go on every Shane Williams video just
so you can say NZ is better? and he isn't shit, it's debateable whether he should have won player of the year in 2008, but if he was shit he wouldn't have got nominated, idiot.
@TheMorsey007 Who exactly played well on that tour? It was a terribly managed tour and was treated as a last-hurrah for the octogenerians amongst the English side. The celts were treated with utter contempt by Woodward and his team-England bunch.
So you're telling me that Thom Evans is a more spectacular player than Shane Williams?
Sure, he's good when he's 2 yards from the tryline, but you really think his tries from short range are as spectacular as Williams' mazy runs, followed by spectacular finish?
If that's what you're saying, you are an idiot! A complete idiot!
Carter wasn't anywhere near Shane in 2008! Sorry, Carter at his best is tactically the best player ever, but he's not been at his best for a few years. Scary when you think of how well he's been playing.
But Shane is by far the most spectacular player on Earth.... possibly ever!!!
No moron, it means I can think of plenty, in other words everyone playing professional rugby. I just dont have the time to type out every single wingers name on here for you.
lol you a making a complete fool of yourself fair play. basically you cant think of one! Fucking loser. Dont have the time to type out every single wingers name?! they're asking for one!! Biggest twat on youtube award goes to....yep you guessed it. dnlhouston
Hi smiley, you're the fool. Do you comprehend english. I guess I will have to explain the words you rehash. The question first was name one thats better. Point i made is there is more than just one. And so it went on. I made my point dickhead. Do you think I am now a "twat" because I cant write down a name? Fucking wake up. and twat is a child's word. Grow up.
Strangely enough i do! Twat is a child's word?? what about dickhead?! Thought you would have grown up by now but clearly not. Please reply by the way i'm having a great time!
Now who can't comprehend English ey :/ It's obvious by the other comments on your profile how much of an embarrassment you are to yourself. Oh well, another day, another idiot
Had Lomu not had his health problems I'm pretty sure he would have become the world's greatest player ever. And gien the choice between Shane and Lomu 100% Lomu!
But Lomu was more about his power than his twinkle toes (though he had both). Shane's the most sectacular player on Earth because against players that should be eating him alive he wriggles free. His movement is breathtaking. He doesn't have the power at all because of his size!

There's a difference between the "best" and the most "spectacular". That is he's the most extravagant, entertaining player ever!
The try you saw was in the first test. The second test was the one you need to see. It's on youtube I think!

he has scored against NZ. a few times actually. and hes scored more tries internationally than habana.

Wrong, he scored against NZ in the 2003 world cup and has played very well against them on other occasions.
And like ronaldinhollew says look at his try from the 2nd test which is very good.
No he's not the best player ever, but he deserved player of the year last year!
