[QUOTE="Lancashire Nick, post: 876077, member: 73890"] Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of some of the Lions' coaches, it can't be easy trying to mould 30+ professionals from 4 different countries and numerous different clubs into a collective unit to take on the dominant nation of the last decade; especially when you only have a few weeks and a handful of warm up matches to do it. With that time frame, it is inevitable that coaches will implement simple, basic structures that everyone can adapt to quickly. The Lions is a great concept, and one that should be maintained, but when you think of how many years it took Graham Henry to build the foundations of this All blacks team, or Clive Woodward to build his World Cup winning England team, I think O'Brien is being unrealistic in his expectations of Gatland and his coaches.
