[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1180963, member: 86934"] I think your partly right but also harsh... Gats is the most successful Welsh coach ever, but also most successful lions coach. Bringing him back to settle the sinking ship made sense, but sadly he has had to deal with his own periodisation from 2019. Pivac made a mess of things, and was desperate so didnt blood enough younger players. Gats since returning is having to use sub standard players, and is 100% right that the regions arent professional enough. Last season Gats had no choice but to use the likes of Biggar, William's and co... but the loss of players cant really be faulted to Gats. Think of the players that arent available... Francis - first choice TH Owen's- out/retired Lake - injured Carre - over weight Hill - attacked a womans house ffs AWJ - retired Carter - injured Ball - went to Aus Tipuric - retired Tsiunza - injured Morgan - injured Falatau - injured Biggar - retired Anscombe - left Wales Patchell - left Wales Evan's- left Wales Sheedy - cap rule Hawkins - cap rule Llewellyn - left Wales LRZ - left rugby Halfpenny - left Wales Williams - left Wales That's 22 first team players of the top of my head Gats lost in the last 12 months.. crazy list!!!
