[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 786667, member: 45598"] Bro... Zebo's hype outside of Munster wasn't huge, he was labeled as a potential bolete at best which was fair considering he lost out to Sean Maitland and was later called up. Over here we prefer to hype our best players to that of best in the world, we don't really go for the young kid who'll be the next great of the game like Itoje is getting. Josh Van der Flier is probably the best example here, he was the best forward in green at the weekend and none of our media said a word about him. (Although some hyped up Dillane and McCloskey because they bring the "style of play we need") Ireland have awful rugby writers in the press and I think it's because of that they jump on the bandwagon of a very good player rather than dub anyone the next big thing.
