So Henson is fully deserving of all his rugby-press despite doing... what?
Didn't he invent the muppets?
No wait that was Jim and the other is one.
As for over hyped All Blacks I think Ali Williams would be the longest serving one.

Yeah but he was played out of position as 15 was his first choice, 2nd ten and third 13. That according to his highschool coach. Mallet moved him to 15 and may I remind you he was part of that 17 winning streak team. He was the leading points scorer in the Tri Nations in 2004 and 2005 , and currently holds the record for the most points scored in a career by a Springbok rugby player, have a world cup winners medal. A bad start does not make him overrated.Hmmm some of those clips were quite good. Percy getting smooshed repeatedly by Frank Bunce ended up on the cutting room floor though, obviously.
Saw them. That one guy in question hasn't watched Leinster play either clearly.
And he had smashing hair
I wouldn't class Montgomery as overrated. He was a good fullback, not in the league of someone like Cullen (when he was in his prime), but he's certainly not overrated. Henson is an obvious choice, as in Cipriani. DC has 10 X the talent Henson does, but until he grows up and learns to tackle his career will mirror Hensons.
Other Overrated Players:
- Francois Steyn
- Quade Cooper
- Drew Mitchell
- SBW - good player, but not worth the hype
- lots of English wingers
- Jamie Roberts and a couple of giant Welsh backs. Can't remember their names. Lots of talk in the British press about how big their backline was, but they did fruck all against a pretty average Australian Side. Give me Shane Williams any day!
- I would have put Jonny Wilkinson, but his defence is phenomenal. Wish QC could tackle like him! And also his ability to kick off both feet his pretty good. So he doesn't make the list!
Roberts didn't tour Australia, was ruled out for the last half of the season after the 6 Nations, so bit harsh to call him overrated for matches he didn't even play in do see what you mean, bar North and Cuthbert the other 'giant' backs were meh, even if Jon Davies did score a lucky kick through try.
Problem with Phillips is, when he's good he's fantastic, but has a habit of being awful too. His service is slow and the best of times too. Still, best we've got and usually a cool head from the base of the ruck. Yeah that's why I'm a big fan of North, he's got a very good rugby brain, knows when to pass to support too and doesn't get greedy. Set up a lovely try once where everyone thought he'd try and smash his way over the line at the corner but passed inside to sent someone else under the post. Just brilliant to watch! If he stays relatively injury free he's almost certainly got a shot at breaking Shane's try record!Ah OK. I do like the half back Mike Philips(?) though, he was good against us. And North gets better with each game, he's got speed and agility, as opposed to just being a big lump that tries to run over people. I do think some of the NH have a tendency to pick big guys, simply because they are big. England especially do this with wings Vanikolo, Banahan etc who were just **** for them.
He's only been around for the last decade, won 60 Wales caps and was the Lions scrum half for the tour of South Africa. You may have heard of him.Ah OK. I do like the half back Mike Philips(?)
