[QUOTE="Nidhogg, post: 179949"] Hines a good performer in their recent games? All he's done is get himself in the bin and put Scotland on the ropes! He's doing exactly the same as Danny Grewcock did. He always had his apologists who said that he was fantastic in the short time he was on the field during his England games but his dicipline was so horrible that he was getting binned or at least hemoraging points for England every game! There are better people to pick at lock than Hines in the British Isles and I'd be up for putting Tom Croft in there instead. Now if you want a Scottish player who has sweated blood so far, look for Gloucester number 8 Alasdair Strokosch. The guy had a really good introductory game and if he plays to that same high standard in the rest of his games in the Six Nations and if he continues his good form at club level he will be a contender for the Lions.[/b][/quote] I guess you are right there, I kinda forgot about his discipline :lol: Getting too many penalties/yellow cards is never a good thing.

He has been good, but good enough to oust R.Jones, M.Williams, J.Heaslip etc? [/QUOTE]
