Gatlan for Wales.
Well as we are all aware we have a new national coach Warren Gatland.
Looking at WGs time spent with Wasps and Ireland and what he acheived we should all be looking forward to his impact over the next 4 years.
If we look back at the last time we won the Grand Slam during Ruddocks era then i think every body would agreee that the success was as a direct result of the foundations put in by Henry and more-so Hanson a tough talking Kiwi. With Interest it seems according to Eddie Buttler that part of Ireland and oSullivans success was also built on the foundations of Gattland.
Looking at the recent performances of Wales and Ireland then one could say that now that we have a coach such as Gatland maybee we should allow him enough time to recreate the structure so required in our game and maybe (to you the WRU) let him start building on the foundations.
I would also like to see some of our regional coaches start to adopt some of the no nonsence approach that we seem to be prepared to pay large salaries for, however i do think our regions are doing ok.
Well done The Dragons you continue to perform against whoever you are faced with, maybee some of the better squads should take note.
