[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 622956, member: 57076"] isn't it weird you're replying to a guy you just called a clown and a bunch of other stuff just like two days ago ? :p the quote I've selected basically sums it up. Terminology doesn't matter. The thought is all there, but also people imply that Wales played to the full extent of their potential, which is ridiculous. As Gatland said they didn't even "execute Plan A" correctly, let alone a plan B or C. They should have made the right adjustments, for sure...but they also should have played with more heart. And it's hard not to admit they ought to have played Ireland smarter too...just an awful game for them. The greater point I was trying to explain was that Gatland ball works still, and it's not because they sucked once that it's all over, and there is no "how do we turn this around ?" as the thread poses, or they urgently need to rethink their Rugby before the RWC, and this and that....and I don't think Gatland is as stubborn as we make him out to be: he's just looking for consistency with something that works more often than not, and again, that's won the last two 6N ***les. About my World XV and the 9 position: I feel silly putting Phillips there now, especially after this game, but I'd seen some really good things and had dwelt on them. Seriously, nobody stands out, nobody. Very mediocre position in the world atm... [/QUOTE]
