[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 786648, member: 12190"] I think we all need to accept that with regards to the media the OP has a valid point. It's something our media does and which does unfortunately rub off on fans. Obviously, there's something ironic about the incessant hyping of many Welsh players for the last 4 and a half years but that's a separate matter as this isn't about Wales. Re. the Courtney Lawes point, it's certainly ok to make parrallels of how he was hyped a few years back, but on the other hand I think people just had and still have a fetish for a different style of lock, and there's something massively boner-inducing for some about the idea of such a hard hitting athletic lock. For me, I see him as a 'tech' card to be swapped in or out depending on the opposition. [/QUOTE]
