[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 164271"] Why is this even newsworthy? He was like Mauger, living on past glories from 2003. Once he left it was always only going to be a one way flight - he's been the number 2 lock ever since Ali Williams exploded in the Lions series, and with Jason Ryan and Eaton both coming along nicely (especially Eaton, him and Ali are going to be destroying opposing team lineouts and chasing down crappy Irish wingers for years to come) Robinson was hardly an experienced lock either, sure, he had been around for ages but he barely reached double digit test caps, it personally wouldn't surprise me if Eaton has already played more tests despite only really having a single year of test rugby (2005 EYOT + 2006). If he hadn't crocked himself I don't think Robinson wouldn't have even made it to France as there would've been no need to rush him back. [/QUOTE]
