[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1050454, member: 72977"] For me he's overrated because the media and some Welsh fans blow everything he does out of proportion. He never really plays badly, but as you said he doesn't tend to have any big game moments. He is a good, solid player, who motivates those around him. Yet during the match commentators often make a big deal out of little basic things. Same with after the match it almost feels like his performance is made to be some incredible feat of rugby. That's why I personally make fun of when he does something, because I'm parodying the way others make such a big deal out of everything he does. Would I have started him, no because I think he needed to earn his place like the rest and it was incredibly harsh on Henderson, Beard and Hill, who have put in so much effort this tour and then seen Jones basically waltz back into the team. Having said that he played well overall. Definitely not the best player on the pitch and wasn't the worst in the first half. I feel he's earned his spot now for next week. [/QUOTE]
