    Hard to take anything you're saying seriously. Firstly, one of the "big hits" in the video, is actually being made by Dan Lydiate (now there's a demonic defender)...but anyway, that video just goes to prove that Davies is simply big powerful pacey runner who slots perfectly into Gatland's one dimensional style of play. An outside centre with hands like Davies simply can't be bracketed as one of the best. He has very substandard passing. Added to that, although he's got some pace, he's not actually that agile at all. In fact, the work he put in for Sexton's try against Australia was probably the closest thing you'll get to footwork when it comes to Davies. I'd actually rate Andrew Bishop as a better rugby player, it's just that Davies has more power.
    more biased nonsense.....hes a phenomenal tackler, great ball carrier, very quick, he has brilliant lines of running and his pop passing is sublime....hes got 35 tries in 101 games too and 9 in 35 for wales....plus 2 championships, a grand slam,a world cup semi final and a lions victory inside 3 years of test rugby....awesome achievement....hes also a selfless player, used as a decoy runner and offers great support,and a man who supports and clears out rucks superbly....hes also got a great left peg.....this boy will go down as an all time great....it would take a great to be picked ahead of BOD and that's exactly what he is.....he will win 100 caps , more lions glory, more grand slams and he will be the welsh talisman at the next world cup again

    I'm getting the feeling that perhaps the paddy in your username is in a fact just a ruse. The 99 I believe.

    Of course I must be biased if I think Andrew Bishop is a better rugby player. Sure I'm ospreys through and through. Cut me open and I bleed black and blue. Or is it black and purple? Or black and gold?

    I think Ospreys fans bleed fake tan.

    ok lets point out a few things

    1.hes a phenomenal tackler... lets be honest no he isnt as he clearly showed during the tour, infact compared to the rest of the lions squad he was middle of the road

    2.he has brilliant lines of running, again no he isnt, he overshot the line numerous times, was in the wrong place ran when he should have stayed, stayed when he should have run

    3. you talk about biased nonsence but then use the terms " three years of test rugby" and "a great" in the same sentence.

    4. Only the welsh coach would have picked him ahead of BOD/Tualagi for the 13 shirt and thats exactly what happened.

    5. I dont know what lions tour you were watching, but it was clearly a different one to everyone else.
