That’s Gatland back in the Wales hot seat after Pivac resigns. Not great, I was hoping to try and milk a few more wins from them before they realised he was useless.

Another three years of Gatlandball.  Serves them right for being Welsh.

Yeah, 3 Six nations title, 2 world cup semi finals and number 1 ranked team in the World under Gatland. Must be sh1te supporting Gatlands Wales right enough. 

Gatland was probably the best coach Wales have ever had, but I sometimes once it's over, it's over. Wales haven't got the players they had during the real top period under Gatland, he was a disaster at the chiefs, where they basically put him on gardening leave. They'll be delighted he got the Wales job. I also think he fucked up the Lions tour quite badly in all honesty.

Still, Gatland and Wales seem to go together well, so will see how it goes. I think they probably had to do something, and I'm actually a wee bit jealous that Wales and England seem to be taking action where we are just going to wait till a WC pumping before changing anything.

Absolutely.  In a nano-second. 

I think Jones would suit us more than he does England. He'd have way more control over the players, I think we'd be good under him.

His troll game is A+.   Worth it just for the tears and snotters from Dublin.

His rugby is absolutely turgid.  Effective, but turgid.

Gatland will need time to fix things. Wales's issues are far more than just the performance of the national team. The grassroots are needing fixed and there's players leaving for example Dan Biggar has went to France.

If we fail to beat this Wales side at Murrayfield then it's time Toony to go..

Wouldn’t touch him for Scotland.

If you thought Toony and Finn had a bad relationship, imagine what Eddie would be like.

I don't know, was it not the private school posh boys Eddie hated? I think him and Finn would get on fine.

I wonder if England will pull off a coup like Wales did with Gatland or they need to bring in a seat warmer till after the world cup?

Either way Scotland are away to England then at home to Wales in the 1st 2 games of the 6N next year.  Hopefully Rome isn't built in a day and we catch them both in a transition...
