[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 996000, member: 73648"] i don't know if he'd rather play for the lions than ireland, but if you look at his career at makes sense that he would appreciate his lions career more than his ireland career (even including that he was a victim of assault and battery while wearing the red). Lions tours are something special and he was able to get a win against Australia, while in World cups it's Ireland and he never got past a quarterfinal. The media scrutiny (now at least, don't know what early 2000s) is much more intense in Ireland than it is for a Lions tour, where losing is almost expected. edit: also just psychologically*, I'd believe that if someone likes two things equal they will retrospectively yearn for the thing they only got to do once every four years rather than the thing they did a couple times a year every year. * I have no idea, am not going to read academia for this.
