Carpelone: you mean emulating the English over the last year with Foden/Brown then Goode/Brown. You couldn't say "emulate England" though could you :-)

Halfpenny on the wing also brings back a dash of the Shane whereas two big ones seems to dull the Welsh attack.

I agree. This will give Wales an extra back cover, emulating New Zealand approach of the double fullback plus a powerful finisher out wide.

For me he would be the number 15 for Wales with Leigh Halfpenny on the wing. Don't get me wrong here as LH has been the standout performer for Wales for a couple of seasons now. However, there is no-one better at cutting an angle and breaking a line like Lee Byrne. He's an excellent fullback and is playing some good stuff in France. Reliable under the high ball and has an excellent boot. Leigh Halfpenny has also been supurb and that is why, with his speed, he is also suited to the wing (and let's be honest, he's played there plenty of times). Back three of Byrne, Halfpenny and North (all playing to their potential) would make Wales' attack potent.
