[QUOTE="danny, post: 178813"] John hayes played in three or four matches on tour. The Lions won all of the games he played in. So no you certainly havent cleared that one up at all. Ok, fair enough, so we can say the same about Jason Robinson (who was dropped I believe), Shane Williams, D'Arcy, Henson, Shaw, White etc. All of which were deemed by Sir Clive as not good enough, so by your logic, must also be completely shite? That tour is hardly an good example of good team selection. Wilkinson the best inside centre in the four nations? I still shake my head when I think of that. Kind of. I understand your point, I just dont agree with it. Hayes will never be the best prop in the world, but on current form he's be in the team or on the bench. On merit. It was the reference to the Lions tour that I object to. Daft slating a player for a performance in a meaningless midweek tour match. Its all moot though, he will be too old to travel. Watch out for Buckley though, if you have a problem with big guys in green jerseys, this guy is bigger then Hayes (6ft 4" I believe and a stone heavier) and he WILL travel [/b][/quote] Just to help you again: You can play in a winning team and still play badly,just as Hayes did on the last Lions tour. If you think midweek Lions games are meaningless you have never been on a Lions tour.I have been on 3. If you think that Hayes would be in the Lions team if it was picked tomorrow you have lost all credibility. I have no problem with Irish players but if I feell they are not good enough for Lions selection I have every right to speak my mind.I hope Buckley does realise his potential then you will have a tight head to be proud of , which is far from what you have with Hayes.
