Who said that? Which paper did you read that in. The handicap was only 4 points or something the bookies clearly didnt think it would be a cakewalk
Its not now that Gattys boys are at it
Course they can play in the rain. Its just a much riskier alternative than a more conservative gameplan. most coaches play the percentages.
Thatās another thing i dont get ā¦ why does gatland get so much stick here ?? Am I right in saying his record as a manger wipes the floor with anything an Irish manager has ever achieved?..

He stood up to the schools
But surely itās riskier (and so it proved) to play that turgid shit and keep the opposition in the game when only one score ahead than kicking on to get two scores ahead and kill the gameā¦
Ok so itās nothing to do with ability to win things and more Irish bitchinessā¦rightā¦
Clearly palā¦thereās more than a stink of boarding school bullying off this oneā¦Gatland has really stuck it to the Irish over the years and instead of accepting it they attack his characterā¦ disgusting to see
Gatty is both a coach and a man of substance.
His results prove that.
And he gives cracking interviews.
I only had a listen last night to a round table discussion he did with Newstalk back in December with Keith Wood and Brian OāDriscoll - he wasnāt afraid to answer any question, told some brilliant anecdotes and properly stuck it into the alickadoos and Eddie OāSullivan. Normally radio discussions about rugby are a load of rot but this was tremendous stuff altogether.
He is very much an alright sort.

The handicap was 6
Why do rugby team kick away possession the whole time?
Could you not just say the child was 6?
To gain territory and to see if their defence can force a mistake out of the opposition in possession close to their own goal-line.
What numbers/ positions play defence in rugby?
Wales were robed
Scotland will win today
The defenders are the small fast lads, the attackers are the roundy fellas with no necks, this is basic stuff mate
