I don't buy his fathers influence stuff as his performnces have shown that he has the ability to control a game at the highest level. His form just appears to have taken a dip. With the Lions he is likely to have far more options around him and this may well benefit him
I'll go with that!

Most underrated for Wales:
Biggar
Hibbard
Shanklin
Byrne
Bevington
Good call on Tom Shanklin. Allan Bateman was another Welsh centre who was underrated.

Re: who's your countries most underrated player
Sir Chris,
I disagree with you. I would like a fetcher at 7. I actually would like Armitage at 7, and possibly Kvesic in a few years if he progresses at his current rate.
That does not mean I under-rate Robshaw. I just want to play him in his better position, which is 6. I still think he is the best 6 around for us. Indeed, we are spoilt for choice in this department, given Wood and Croft too, but that means we have good backup. I do not agree with tampering with backrow balance, purely to get your best players on the pitch.
Many will point out to me that I cannot leave Croft out, especially after his break at the weekend. But we have backs to do that. Croft is a good 6, and will revel on the quick Ozzie pitches. But I want my backrowers, tackling, over the ball, and at the bottom of rucks, not standing in as an outside centre.
So yes, I would rather have someone else at 7, and Robshaw at 6.
