[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 873279, member: 13739"] No issues from me with SOB saying what he's said. The whole 'what happens on tour, stays on tour' rubbish shouldn't be part of modern, professional rugby. Coaches can be quick to criticise players after poor performances, with Gatland being especially guilty of this on occasion. We al know that Howley isn't up to the task of coaching international rugby, the evidence has been there for years with Wales. If what SOB is saying is true (and I have zero reason not to believe him), then the fact that Sexton and Faz had to run things ain't great. Of course the players should always have a say, but it sounds like Howley simply became a bystander by the end. It's about time the WRU took notice, and maybe they should take this opportunity to approach more lions players to get their views. Most of the Welsh squad have known no better with Wales, although I'm sure the Scarlets boys have seen the difference with Stephen Jones. Gatland should have gone after the last world cup, Howley and McBryde never earned their positions be begin with and imo have been holding Wales back for the last decade! [/QUOTE]
