Please god do it.no SOB you didnt have a point.
gatland for ABs coach
I mean you could have a look at Wales, it's not like the Lions is the only gig on his CVif he could do that with the lions then i would love to see what he could achieve as a backs coach for the ABs
To be fair. Regardless of Gatland SOB fiasco. The All Black were absolutely shite that series and stats back it up in nearly all departments. It was a big "missed opportunity" as the All Blacks wereaful in that test series.cant believe how little SOB thinks of the ABs that he reckons they shouldve won it 3-0
vunipola is worse. he wasnt even on the tour and reckons that eddie wouldve won it 3 nil. WTF?
gatland was rated a snowballs chance in hell and came away from , imho, the hardest test tour in modern rugby history with his pride intact. he managed to bring together players who hate each other and made them play coherently.

Probably similar to Wales' backs. Predictable, big and direct, with some really talented guys having their skills and attacking intuition slowly coached out of them. And if route one doesn't work, don't worry, because it will be tried over and over again for the foreseeable future. You could try lay that at Howley's feet, but you really want your next backs coach to be the man who didn't step in and try and fix it? Want a nice brand of attacking rugby in Wales? Watch the Scarlets. They play great stuff.cant believe how little SOB thinks of the ABs that he reckons they shouldve won it 3-0

could it be that ABs werent allowed to play there game? there were 2 teams on the fieldTo be fair. Regardless of Gatland SOB fiasco.

not denigrating wales BUT big difference between wales cattle and NZ cattleI mean you could have a look at Wales, it's not like the Lions is the only gig on his CV
isnt that why we're here ? to discuss and solve all these rugby mysteries?It's the old did Gatland bring the Welsh players down with his game plan or was his game plan the best way to get the most out of them at the time?
or maybe he's just a whinger?"SO'B didn't have a point". So he made up Sexton and Farrell taking the lead in backs training? Seems an odd thing to do for a man with nothing to gain. Also why would you want a coach famous for getting his back row firing really well at his peak to be your backs coach?
Maybe but fact is unforced errors, poor goal kicking, discipline and numerous more stats suggest nothing to do with Lions. Also you keep commenting on Gatland as backs coach. He's never been near that area so not sure how you base him in that catcould it be that ABs werent allowed to play there game? there were 2 teams on the field
