[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 548514, member: 48703"] Heaslip and Faletau are quite similar number 8's in style I think. The difference is though, that Heaslip is a few years ahead of him in terms of development and experience. Faletau is probably better lineout option, but Heaslip better at the breakdown. Both are very good defenders. I would back Heaslip though be the Lions 8 currently, he's been the most consistent 8 over the past 4 years, all the others have dipped in and out of form, Heaslip is consistent. By the way. How come Ireland are the only ones who perform the "choke tackle"? No other side uses that like Ireland or Leinster do. [/QUOTE]
