Credit where credit is due. The man is an absolute legend, often criticised but never fails to give 100%. At 38 he has become the first player ever to reach 100 HC appearances. Has two HC winners medals to boot.

What an achievement. The Bull tis your field thumbsup

The biggest legend ever. He has played as many games as the Scarlets have over the total HC!

Cant believe how fit he looks. He has been a credit to munster and ireland and despite all the criticism from some quarters has been one of our most important players for the last 10+ years..and a complete gentleman as well

Brilliant achievement. He's one of those players that you probably don't realise how important he was until he's gone.

Great guy and very humble.

"Standing at rucks holding his hand in the air" - Stephen Jones.

And he did it one hundred times, Stephen.

Hayes work rate has always been immense. OK hes a rubbish scrummager but has there ever been a better lineout lifter? His defence at rucktime has always been superb. The guy is a legend, the ultimate team player.

He wasnt that rubbish a scrummager. Not great but look what Ireland and Munster have achieved with him locking down the scrum over the last decade
