[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 158346"] There seem to be two major taboo subjects in Wales: [list=1][*]De-facto affirmative action benefiting Welsh speakers. [*]What happened in 2006 to force Mike Ruddock to leave. [/list]Now, I have no business with the first taboo, but I want to know and I want a clear answer rather than pretend that nobody knows what happened and that the entire Welsh squad and WRU have suffered collective damn amnesia. What happened with Mike? Do you think Wales crashing from the RWC is a consequence of the events of 2006? Is this the fault of the players? The WRU? Mike Ruddock? Dave Moffat? Alfie?! Who?! And finally, how do Wales get themselves out of this hole. I agree with Gareth Edwards when he disagrees that Wales need another foreign coach, "Why do we need coaches from New Zealand? They come over here, get experience coaching us, go back home to coach the best national side in the world and [i]still[/i] get it wrong!" For all this talk of "red zones" and "frank talking", I see allot of subject changes and skirting issues here! I think what Wales really need to do is have a really, really good argument about this. One which is very loud, very brutal and very public. [/QUOTE]
