[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 538061, member: 13739"] Yeah I agree. The recent success has masked the inabilities of those two. We were correct when we were saying 18months ago that we needed new forward and attack coaches, coaches with experience. I still maintain that Nigel Davies is a top quality attack coach. Not convinced he's a head coach, but he teams are always potent attacking wise (Scarlets, Gloucester, and Wales under Gareth Jenkins). Not sure about forwards coach, but there's nothing saying that they have to be Welsh. The national set-up is not the place to develop Welsh coaches, why weren't Howley and McBryde sent to the Premiership to devlop, followed by the regions and maybe in 10years they would be up to the task of being part of the national set-up as long as they proved their worth. Gatland and Shaun Edwards are fine. It's difficult to judge Neil Jenkins. McBryde has been up and down as the forwards perform well for a time then drop off again. Wales' attacking has never been good enough under Howley, relying on grinding out a score by holding onto possession more multiple fazes until an overlap is generated, or relying solely on individual skill (Shane Williams) or brute force (Roberts, North and Cuthbert).
