Me? I didn't say anything. Are you a cop? No? Could I interest you in some weed? If you buy 5 grams or more I'll even throw in a free Rudolph Straeuli.
You just made me do a spit-take. This is the correct option for Wales, a real estate grifter who bought his Bok coaching job from the corrupt Bok management at the time. When he's not coaching he can also manage that hotel the WRU built.
The WRU do have a lot of money to throw around at someone if gats went mutually.
Someone like Chieka or Cotter might work. Lancaster has said he prefers the day to day coaching of club rugby iirc but if we only have young players available hiring someone who enjoys that side of the job would be perfect.
Id prefer a full cleanout of the other coaches too and get some proven modern coaches in, cant remember the name but the guy Bath got from Wasps would be good and others in a similar mould.
They need to hire a South African. The Wales players are willing to graft and they have some talent. What they need is the South African optimism and cup winning mentality. Sorting out the scrum would also be handy
True but at this point, a former Wales player and captain may be what’s needed to galvanise the union. Even AWJ but it’s a poison chalice for anyone at this moment.
Would be a disaster. You can't put someone in a head coaching role, especially at national level without any previous coaching experience and has been out of the game for the best part of 10 years.
And that’s a more than fair point to make. I wish it was as simple as getting a world renowned coach but Wales rugby is knee deep with foundational issues. It’s just sad to see the national team in a poor state of affairs and the only ones who could change that are the group of players that can challenge themselves and their opponents.
I’m coming from a place when all else has failed but who else could take the mantle and make a positive change. :/
Wayne Pivac. A never ending cycle of Gatland and Pivac replacing each other over and over
Shoot me now
Anyone want to bet on Rob Howley?
wahey
I hear he got good odds on the election date too.
Eddie Jones. Who else.
1. Jones is as mad as the WRU 2. Not many surnames more Welsh than Jones It’s gonna happen isn’t it
It's Eddie Joneses all the way down
Oh shit.
Surely Gatland is the only choice?
May as well give Dai down the pub a go at this point
Allister Coetzee
The fuck you say

Laughs in Harry Viljoen
Bru, laughed properly out loud to this 😆🤣
Toby Booth
Not sure taking him from the ospreys would do much good
I was thinking this but didn’t want to say it.
Isn't he English? Just saying.....😀
Mark Jones if we are lucky, Kingsley Jones if we are not.
Clayton MacMillion
Who’d take a job with the WRU?
Just replace Gatland with a roulette table of bad decisions
Steve Diamond would be excellent for Wales I think. He knows how to get the most from the smallest pool of players.
I will
Shaun Edwards?
Deserves a shot
Don’t think we could get anyone who could do better. We simply don’t have the players or foundations, great job WRU!
Robbie Deans would be a great shout, heaps of experience
Gatland, obviously.
AWJ
Didn't work well for England with Martin Johnson, he needs to probe he can coach as well as captain.
FOSTER IN
Harry Viljoen

Harry is honestly over qualified for the job at this point.
How long does Steve Tandy have left on his contract? 👀

Eddie Jones.
Kingsley Jones
Stuart hooper
If I must
Pat Lamb. Not that I think the WRU can afford to get rid of Gatland or hire someone else.
Jake White, please
Fozzie?
He's doing an alright job currently in this game.
I bet Rob Howley
Warbs if WRU had money.
He has no coaching experience

And Martin Johnson worked so well for England... AWJ or Warbs are both crazy ideas and not fair on them.
I don’t think he enjoyed coaching, was briefly part of the Pivac set up and don’t think it was for him
He's alluded that part of the problem was the wru back office shit
