    They should have shaken hands with Gatland at the eve of the World Cup in France…

    Guess we are all geniuses with hindsight

    Steve and Karen love it in Scotland and their girls have settled there very well.

    I wouldn’t wish the Welsh job on him with the current circumstances: the inevitable media and social media noise if things didn’t improve on the pitch would be terrible for him and Karen

    At home I might have given us a slight chance but out there they'll be really up for this, knowing they are favourites.

    So Gatland has gone - Inevitable really …..

    When he was reappointed, his job was to get us out of the RWC Pool against the Aussies and Fijians.

    He achieved that - lost somewhat unluckily in some respects to the Pumas in Marseille in the Quarter Final (as Max Boyce would say ‘I know ‘coz I was there!).

    That would have been the best / right time for him to have walked away, with his head held high and his legacy largely intact.

    A sad ending for a guy who helped Wales punch above its weight for a period of time - albeit his record against the Southern Hemisphere’s ’Big 3’ was distinctly average: we still haven’t beaten the ABs in my lifetime …. and probably won’t now…..

    Surprised Dan Edwards is not at least on the bench tomorrow. Better looking side though and hopefully a decent performance at least.

    Unusually not looking forward to this. Praying the boyos have enough about them to make a respectable show of it.
    But if they go down quick in first half tv will be going off again !
