[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 314628, member: 13611"] He's played a lot more rugby this season than he did last year (18 games for Leinster and 7 for Ireland). Perhaps the significantly increased time on the field has affected him. Also, when he plays loosehead, Stan Wright is generally the tighthead but Wright isn't as good a scrummager as van der Linde or Ross on that side of the scrum. If Wright (or John Hayes) don't lock that side of the scrum, it's naturally going to have a knock on effect on the other frontrowers. That's not to say that Heay hasn't struggled - he has but his struggles are limited when somebody other than Wright (who's an excellent loosehead) plays at 3. [/QUOTE]
