So, Gatland and Nigel Walker are having a
Press conference this afternoon. Must be confirming that Gatland is staying on for the long term. I must admit, like I was when we first appointed him, I'm underwhelmed. I thought it made total sense in the short term with him moving up to a director or rugby role, but long term head coach? Not for me.
I can't go along with this successful tournament stuff either to be honest. Yeah we were **** 6N but looking at the draw we had and limping out to Argentina in the quarters wasn't anything special. I swear the constant reminding from Gatland about how we'd never get out the group has spun this into what a great tournament we had. I've always backed our players (most of them anyway) and still do, but think we're being left behind with the turgid rugby we're playing, and will continue to play under him. I'm probably being to harsh and I'll always back him and the team even if I'd rather have someone like Jamie Joseph, but the grand slam days are over, but maybe they were over no matter who we appointed.
