[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 879526, member: 13611"] I'm not sure many are hyping Andrew Porter. Most accept that he's behind Tadhg Furlong, John Ryan, Finlay Bealham and Michael Bent in the pecking order on what he's shown so far. You could argue that Wiehann Herbst, Stephen Archer and Rodney Ah You would be ahead of him too. What is rightly being suggested is that he has the potential to be ahead of most on that list. Tony Buckley is still fresh in a lot of peoples minds as somebody else with big potential who didn't live up to it despite having a good career so most are being rightly cautious about Porter rather than proclaiming him a future superstar. Going off on a tangent but Simon Best was a huge loss to Irish rugby when he retired at 30. He had a lot of experience and was primed to take over from John Hayes. Would have been great to have him and Mike Ross competing for a few years. Massively underrated player. [/QUOTE]
