Dunno. Gig in Japan on the way home?

hows eddie osullivan faring these days

Eddie is an old man and his ways are outdated

Same as Gatty

One of them has almost bankrupted the WRFU

[Tim_Riggins]

Eddie runs Japanese rugby now, don’t think he’d want him.

Gats made the Welsh dream. You can’t put a price on that. Ireland spent a lot and achieved far far less

gatty had 4 quarter finals and 2 fourth places in world cups. most of the rogbee lads would take your hand off for one quarter final, never mind 4

[Tim_Riggins]

Gatty used to hightail it out of Wales between games. His commitment to domestic rugby was dubious.

The approach of one team over all else has left Welsh rugby in the state it is in.

His record sans Edwards is not good.

he was a hungry cunt, no doubt. but his record up until lately is excellent. france havent exactly been pulling up tres since edwards went there. didnt win a home WC

[Tim_Riggins]

They are a much improved side since Edwards joined.

Gatland’s record without Edwards is objectively poor.

France were a total train wreck from 2011 until 2019. Got destroyed by New Zealand in 2015 in the quarter final and another disappointing World Cup in 2019. They didn’t win a six nations from 2010 until 2020 either.

They’ve fairly transformed in terms of consistency since 2020. Built a wonderful team.

Lads put awful lot of store in the World Cup on here from some reason. It’s odd in soccer you’d never really here anything about it only once every four years.

Wales slump to an 11th consecutive defeat. Hammered 20-52 by Australia. That’s the worst run in their history in 140 odd years of international rugby.

At least 20,000 empty seats in the ground at the start and probably 60,000 empty at the final whistle. The alarm bells should be going off.

Team booed off the field as well.

The Welch are the greatest shower of wankers

[ChairmanDan]

Is that 750k Sterling or Euro?

[gilgamboa]

Sterling I spose Dan

[ChairmanDan]

Yikes

[myboyblue]

Imagine how bad that could have been if Gats wasn’t at the helm?

[Tim_Riggins]

He is close to having the worst hard coaching record in Super Rugby too.
