If we get nilled again (or don't score any tries) he, and all the coaches other than Bomb, should go straight after game.We are so poor, I just don't see how we win this one! That's kinda depressing as I've always gone into a game v Italy with confidence we'd win. Oh well.
I kinda hope Italy give us another good thrashing as there'd be no coming back from that for Gatland! Realistically, he should be gone already, but if the reports of Gatland having a release clause in his contract at the end of the 6N are true, then I assume WRU are waiting till then to save a few quid.
Will be interesting to see how Gatland approaches this game from a selection pov. He went about as conservative as possible v France which completely failed, so does the roll the dice this week?
I'd bring Teddy Williams, Faletau (if fit), Dan Edwards, Eddie James, Joe Roberts and Hathaway into the starting 15. I don't think that will solve all our issues, but we need some improvements from somewhere! Howley's attacking gameplan will always be a massive hindrance though!
I'm not sure. I think it would depend on how bad the losses against Scotland and England are. If he managed to keep those games competitive I'd imagine the win against Italy would be enough. Bad losses against Scotland, and certainly England, would see him gone in my opinion.If Wale only win this game. Do the WRU see this as a success and keep Gats. Think that would be a mistake, but as always who else is there.
I'm guessing based on this that a pint in Cardiff isn't on the cards for us in a couple weeks!I'm not sure. I think it would depend on how bad the losses against Scotland and England are. If he managed to keep those games competitive I'd imagine the win against Italy would be enough. Bad losses against Scotland, and certainly England, would see him gone in my opinion.
I don't have any faith in the WRU appointing the right person but to be honest, I'd still take the risk.
