[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 861723, member: 45598"] Sexton's form is not being highlighted fairly whatsoever, had Sexton started and played like Farrell there'd be calls for his head but when he had a very strong showing against the Maori, controlling the game from 10 nothing was. Sexton and Best have received the harshest criticism on this tour by a long way, whioe some guys like Farrell, Te'o and AWJ (prior to Saturday) are being hilariously overvalued. Saturday confirmed my belief that selection matters nowt anyway considering Gatland couldn't coach a rest of World XV to beat NZ, this is a guy who had his successes in Europe v Eddie O'Sullivan, Martin Johnson, Brian Ashton, Declan Kidney and Stuart Lancaster (his toughest opposition head coach was a notorious bottler) and Robbie Deans joke of an Aussie side... This list is a who's who of incompetent international coaches,I'll give Gatland his dues and say he's a competent coach but when the going gets tough his mediocrity shines through... [/QUOTE]
