[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1111927, member: 82670"] I think we saw signs of it in his first season then he completely backtracked. I think it was at that point he probably lost a bit of respect from a lot of the players. Shaun Edwards said the other day he doesn’t know why Pivac was hired in there first place and that Gatland (and him) should’ve had their contracts extended. Obviously not sure how that panned out in reality but there was definitely the feeling at the time that we needed to move on from Gatland. Priestland and Cuthbert were wild selections but to be fair Cuthbert wil probably be in and around the squad under Gatland but Adams will rightfully be ahead of him under Gats. Will be interesting to see what he does with some players. He was asked if his legacy is on the line taking the Wales job and he said definitely which is what makes it exciting. He’s definitely still got the desire, whether he’s still got it is another question. We’ll do a lot better under him than Pivac but long term he’s not the answer. There’s only one breakdancing coach on this planet who can save us, hopefully we can go in for him next year. [/QUOTE]
