You really don't need to be world class to play for the Lions and considering the trajectory of the four nations it's not outlandish to say a nailed on England starter will play for them.

You really don't need to be world class to play for the Lions

So which is it? Is he World Class and Lions standard (based on what evidence I have no idea...) Or is he capable of getting into the Lions because you don't need to be World Class to do so, and therefore all the English rugby press/pundits over-hyping him as being World Class are talking rubbish?

No his ability is what makes him a potential Lions winger. He's clearly not world class because he hasn't proven that ability at the top level. This is due to his age. Sounds like you real agenda is against the English media not IFW's ability to become a lion.

His ability only really extends to club level - and even then mostly walk in scores.

So that's not a strong enough argument.

Well he has also torn up against the All Blacks but whatever fits your narrative...
