Although AWJ is possibly my least favourite player and seems to get away with terrible dirty play all the time, he is very good. The sort of player that you want on your team but hate playing against.
I do not get the wall to wall adoration he gets for everything he does, especially when you watch the extra cover his team mates have to do towards the end of the game when his engines gone.
He is the main reason that I back all the other home Nations teams over Wales.
Agree that picking him as lions captain appears to be sentimental. I wouldn't have him touring but then again I'm pretty ignorant compared to actual rugby coaches.
That's a fair point, he is an excellent wind up merchant and along with Itoje's insistent calling and shouting maybe the plan is to wind Eben up for an early Red. Worked for Wales in the 6N.
