[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 543555, member: 48703"] I agree. This list is about being over hyped, which is where media/fans go overboard in their appraisal players. Not a list of simply inconsistent players. Everybody knows about Michalak's inconsistencies and that it has been a problem for him throughout his career (remember England 2003?) so he is not overhyped, the general perception of him is quite accurate. I do agree that Cipriani around 2008 was over hyped though and is possibly the most over hyped player on the list, I remember one article with the headline "Now Danny Boy stalks Dan the Man (Carter)" ([url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/mar/23/rugbyunion.comment[/url]), and also in 2008 when they released the Lions jersey magazine [I]Rugby World[/I] wrote "see the jersey that Cipriani and co will wear next summer".
