Talk:Shane Williams

message: Moving this to the talk page for now: 
He started his career as a scrum-half at Amman United RFC but his speed and mobility meant that he was soon placed on the wing at Neath RFC and after the formation of regional squads in Wales with the Ospreys. Shane Williams’s speciality is his outstanding broken play running. His lack of height has led to comments about a potential weakness in defence and for this reason he has not had as many Welsh caps as he might have. However this is to fail to recognise that his abilities lie in attack. For example his trademark move means that any opposing back that hoofs the ball down field in his vicinity is likely to see it run back at him with pace. This combined with his pace and sidestep have made him one of Wales best try scorers, with a rate of almost one try per match.
This paragraph is pretty much a repeat of the first paragraph. I tried to insert the relevant facts into the first paragraph. I left out "His lack of height... for this reasons... not as many caps as he might have" because we need a source for that, and for the response to it. The try rate is interesting, but for what period of time is that? Lions tour? Time at the Ospreys? Career? I'd like to put it in, but in a year's time we will be wondering "where did that come from"?

message: Look, can you actually find somewhere that says that UK standard abbreviations for 'pounds' is 'lbs'? Because I can't - in fact, everywhere I look it's 'lb'.
This isn't a UK/US matter. It's simply that 'lbs' is not a recognised abbreviation - anywhere.

replies: text: ridiculous is the word. As a resident in the UK, it is lbs when a person is weighed at 13 st 4 lbs, back in Aus it is 95 kg. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 21:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Oh Alexsanderson83, you silly old thing. I, too, am a Briton, though I lived in Singapore for a spell, and in neither the UK nor Singapore have I ever come across "lbs" as a recognised abbreviation for "pounds", except when people use it mistakenly, as you have. – PeeJay 01:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
