Oh! Seriously have they played against each other in that time?

Do tightheads personally duel each other?
Ah You and Archer are playing decently in the pro 12 and Heineken, neither are great but are decent players.
Hagan has been very poor for London Irish since joining them. Hagan as played 13 minutes this season and has just been given away to us for 3 months.

So they haven't played against each other then? I'm not impressed by Ah You or Archer as being much better than Hagan. Maybe it's true that the law changes have made his skill-set obsolete- but I think he has something and now that we have taken him on a short-term loan, we may find out if can fix him.

Neither you nor I can say how Hagan will go with us. We do know that his last period with us was among his best- it's worth a chance.

I'm not saying its not worth a chance, simply said that since he left leinster he has been poor at LI, which there is no denying.
Ah You and Archer have performed better for their teams over that same time period.. that cant be denied
