[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 865426, member: 73144"] You could say pretty much the same for any coach. To have survived 10 years in the goldfish bowl that is Welsh rugby plus two unbeaten Lions tours tells me the bloke's no mug. Also need to bear in mind that in Wales he's working with a pretty small player pool at the top level. There just isn't the depth available to Hansen or Jones. In some respects that makes life easier, but you can't blame him for sticking with what / who he knows. As ever the question is who would have done better if dealt the same hand. I don't think he's very top drawer, but I do think he deserves more credit than he sometimes gets. [/QUOTE]
