How Wallabies plan to stop Welsh wing king





25th November 2008, 13:15 WST

The Wallabies have revealed their blueprint for stopping Welsh wizard Shane Williams in Saturday’s Test in Cardiff - and it’s not rocket science.

The Wallabies’ simple plan for the newly-crowned world player of the year is to “get in his face”, according to Drew Mitchell who opposed Williams in Australia’s 24-22 loss to Wales at Millennium Stadium in 2005.

“He stood me up pretty clean,” Mitchell recalled on Monday.

With Mitchell to play fullback this Saturday, Peter Hynes will have the unenviable task of marking the wing king this time around.


the rest from the West....

The wisdom of the Drew... how strange

I trust Hynes' defense, he is really very good defensively and I'm glad it's him marking Williams. In his face sounds like Hynes' kinda thing. You show him how it's done boys, and sneak past him a couple of times please.

What is annoying me about this article, is how they are bringing up this test and not the last one against Wales. We lost to them then, but we beat the last year. Why don't we mention that article?? Mind you, this article is about Drew and he probably doesn't want to remind anyone of that game. Was it James Hook he speartackled?
