[QUOTE="Genghis, post: 1074466, member: 73859"] [B][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Firstly, well played Ireland - that was a fantastic performance and I suspect they would have beaten the All Blacks again last Saturday. With Wales, I think we are in the inevitable transition stage when really good teams start to decline because of a lack of succession planning. The Gatland years were a bit of a golden age for Welsh rugby (especially when you consider our size and the chronic state of our regional game). Warrenball wasn’t always easy on the eye, but it was damn effective and I would rather have ground out a boring win than be crushed by Ireland while trying to play attacking rugby. All coaches know they will leave at some point, so what is their motivation to develop future talent at the expense of todays results and many of Gatland’s fantastic players are getting behind their sell by date but there is little coming through behind them. Sorting out the Regions is key.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
