Stan started 75 games for Leinster, 26 of them at loose-head.
7 in his first season (2006-07) with Will Green at tight-head.
6 in 2007/08 with Stephen Knoop or Juan Gomez at tight-head.
6 in 2008/09 with CJ vd Linde at tight-head.
7 in 2009/10 with CJ vd Linde at tight-head.
I knew cormac would come in and save the day...
And that doesn't even cover the times he started at th and moved across.now it does get a little interesting: (maybe not -- I think I'm all alone in this tbh but feic it anyways)

In 2007/08 Stan started 5 games at 1 and was replaced in 3 by Healy
In 2008/09 Stan started 6 games at 1 and was replaced in all 6 by Healy
In 2009/10 Stan started 7 games at 1 and was replaced in 4 by Healy
I'm not making any statements here, I'm just giving some numbers - you can make of them what you wish.
thanks lads, especially Johng and Xanthippe -- I cannot find access to the stats you quote (or more precisely the detail) but I would really appreciate if you could share the source
after reading all answers above, assuming the stats given in the posts above are correct and combining with the Stats here:
http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/
I have reasoned the following:
Season 2009-2010:
Stan starts 7 games at 1 to be replaced by Cian Healy in 4,
but Cian Healy starts 17 games at 1 in this season, so this Healy starts 4 times more at LH than he repalces Stan Wright, therfore this season must be seen as Cian Healty as a mature LH prop and can be counted as Healy being favoured to Stan Wright at LH for this season.
Season 2008-2009 Stan starts 6 games at 1 to be replaced by Healy in 6
but Cian Healy starts 15 games at 1 in this season so this Healy starts 2 times more at LH than he repalces Stan Wright, therfore this season must be seen as Cian Healty as a mature LH prop and can be counted as Healy being favoured to Stan Wright at LH for this season. Cap this with the HC win against Leiscester with HAealy starting at 1 and Wright startng at 3
Season 2007-2008
Stan Starts 5 games at 1 to be replaced by Healy in 3
Cian Healy starts 3 games this season at LH , so Healy has repaced Wright equal to his number of starts this season this is the figure which shows when Healy was not yet an established first squad chouce so we do need to dig into two figures a little deeper:
1: Cian Healy appeared as a replacement 10 times this season -- 3 to Stan Wright --- who did he replace the other 7 times?
2: Stan Wright had 26 starts at TH and 5 st LH (assuming stats given above by ...are correct) so Stan is for sure seen as e Th specia
3: who was seen as the LH specialist on 2007-2008 -- the answer to this is Ollie Le Roux -- started 15 games at LH in season 2007-2008
so in I must admit to being a little bit torn on this one -- this being my first post and all that. I think my memory and the Stats to all point in the same directions:
1: I am correct -- it is not fair to state that Cian Healy was an understudy to Stan Wright
2: therefore this was an exam[;e of lazy reporting on Journo's part, i.e., not correctly fact checked.
3: however I have found the stats hard to come by (lads please please do share the source for your stats
) AND
4: In answer to the question posed -- I do in fact believe that it is just me ...
Rgds,
