    Great move by the WRFU appointing Gatland. Will be interesting to see if he can turn the Welsh team back into a force to be reckoned with in the 6 nations.

    I love that RTE forgot to mention he coached Ireland :p Good steal Wales hopefully he can get them going like he did with Wasps. So then how many coaches are left on the market for us to wonder about now :P

    lucky wales, would love to have seen him back with ireland, but the Irfu would never have bitten the bullet on that one and he may not have wanted to work for them again anyway.

    TBH I still think Wales are a good team, slightly unfair statment. They play some good rugby, and I reckon on present form they'll have our number at least. They managed to not only beat but outplay the Argies not so long ago (the 3rd ranked team in the world!)

    They were unlucky not to make the QF!

    Well, he should never been shafted like that by the IRFU

    I met the guy in Newcastle Airport a few years ago - really sound, really great coach
