Rugby is cyclical and we've had an awesome decade (+) under Gatland so I fully expect a period of sharp decline.
Yes, yes, I know that is very pessimistic outlook, but I don't see Wales sustaining a top quality side now Gatland and Edwards have moved on. Especially with the state of our regional game.
Watch out for France in the ascendancy next couple of years.
Full of hope I see
You have a point, this has been best era since the 70's, we have some good players picking a 9 or the best back row is almost impossible, I'm hoping your wrong, though I do see what your getting at, Its just I'm looking on the bright side.
"Especially with the state of our regional game." Yes this is embarrassing , so few clubs............... *in wales!*
Yes, completely agree, though being on the wrong end/dubious tactics of some French colt games (club rugby) many years ago I'm no fan of the French side, have to admit as a kid it was hard not to admire Serge Blanco, sure he was Welsh.
