Makes you wonder what wales would have achieved had they pivoted to an attacking play style when their power game had been found out around 2013

Probably the same amount of Grandslam wins as England. They might have won a six nations title and triple crown more recently as well

I thought he wanted to go back to Australia to be with his family? Would his heart be in it? I’m not sure.

Love Cheika but that's the most uninspired, "we'll get someone in for two years to steady things" appointment you'll ever see.
More up to date with the modern game than Gats but he's hardly a total opposite which is what Wales need.
Sherrat would be better imo.

If Wales perform well in the next two games, Sherrat will be asked. If Wales win both and somehow end up third or fourth, Sherrat will be begged

Even though he's not old Cheika already gives me 'yesterday's man' vibes. I do like listening to his interviews though.
If I were a Wales fan I'd also rather have Sherrat if he can demonstrate that the performance v Ireland wasn't a one off and can give Welsh rugby a lift in the next two games.

Cheika would be an absolute horror story, and the most WRU decision that has ever WRU'd...
I fully expect him to come in, complain about how **** things are, and be gone after the first summer tour and Autumn series leaving us coachless this time next year

The way I see it, Gatland did a great thing for Welsh Rugby, but when he was asked back too many things had changed, with the Team and with the WRU internally. A lot of things appeared to be outwith his control. He's probably damaged his legacy as well.
Also, the criticism from ex players was a bit of a stab in the back. And some of the support are a bit ungrateful also.
All glory is indeed fleeting.

It was within his control to not select three 12s in the same backline....

Sadly he’s yesterdays man and the thing you don’t mention is the game has moved on and sadly Gatland never moved with it.
