[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 258728"] Anyone read this: [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/my_club/cardiff_blues/8007225.stm"]Robinson into 'Lions Contention'[/url] says Jonathan Davies at least. He has a point I guess, Robinson is easily one of the form no 10's in club rugby atm, and he proved he can hack it in a couple of tight cup games (vs Northampton, despite a few sloppy penalty punts to touch and vs Toulouse) and was a big factor in cutting Gloucester to pieces yesterday. Things that may count against him is his lack of goal kicking in recent matches (Ben Blair and Halfpenny have taken over the goal kicking) and lack of recent international games (though if that counts against him, then it should count against Cipriani too). I wouldn't have him starting any tests (Jones and O'Gara are the front runners) but seeing him in midweek games with someone like Halfpenny or Armitage to kick goals would be very usefull imo.
