Walsh on Gatland. He's no Messiah archive.ph/2025.02.23-0...

Matt Goodwin back in 2022 when he was all for Badenoch to 2025. Clearly he's forgotten that he was one of those pushing for her.

Hawkins to Dragons as the marquee (poor sod)? Iosefa-Scott and Street not mentioned. Both large TH units? Maybe a few more to be announced at Exeter as that squad looks thin and some names missing.

Hopefully not Cheika for the simple reason that he deliberately makes his tie look shit like that. Pivac did the same. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Gatland to Australia to take over from Schmidt would be a top notch appointment www.nine.com.au/sport/rugby/...

In an unsurprising move London Irish won't be moving to the URC. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

And they handed the "great man" a career in return. It was the players who did the back breaking training sessions, who smashed into players in attack and defence. Gatland never got hurt watching Wales play, never needed to have surgery.

I wonder which players could possibly have suggested that? Also how anonymous was this feedback? Interesting that Biggar in his autobiography talks of how much he learnt from Vesty at Northampton in expanding his playbook and then at Toulon with his kicking.
