[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1022851, member: 82670"] Normally I’d find a response like this disingenuous as it’s basically cognitive bias whereby you ignore evidence from a source that has no love for Wales or Welsh players because it fits with your view. However, in this case with Marler, you may have a point to be fair. What about Proudfoot, though? Should we not take his “Tipuric is top of the pile and a special player” comment at face value? Or does he not really know what he’s talking about? What about Sir Clive Bell End? Or Ugo Monye or Courtney Lawes? Those are just the ones off the top of my head I could probably find more if researched. Fair points re Lions but this takes us back to the point about what kind of game you want to play and the roles you want performed. I was a massive fan of Warburton but I preferred Tips but he was never going to get ahead of Sam under Warren. I agree with you in terms of Tips not likely to see much game time against SA and I would understand Gats’ rationale behind that, you could say it’s not a race run at Tipurics pace. AWJ’s however, is made to play against SA but obviously he’ll be dismissed out of hand for completely different reasons. [/QUOTE]
