[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 865344, member: 39240"] Be careful now or Valley Commando will troll you with a dislike :D But the point is exact. Having studied a bit I think Gatland got left behind when guys like Schmidt and Jones arrived. Even with Rassie in Munster I see it. but these guys are complete fanatics on finer details that I don't think Gatland possesses and this is where you get that extra 10-15%. I've heard stories on Schmidt getting cranky on how precise lads place finger tips on passes and where there head is exactly facing 2 phases before they are due to get the ball. And Jones is similar and it's no coincidence they do win those small battles. Both have surrounded themselves with comfort blankets. Jones got Gustard and Borthwick. Schmidt had smarts to have Gibbes, Plumtree, Farrell and even Richie Murphy. [/QUOTE]
