Show more »"I notice your an advocate of players being centrally contracted to the union, for more control of the test playes etc. As it is now, the money from the EDF, HEC and ML belongs to the participants not the union. So where will the WRU find the money for central contracts considering the massive debt its currently in? Thanks." Show less »

Show more»" I’ve never said that (that players should be centrally contracted.) I think that because there are only four regions, it’s ideal to have an understanding between the regions and the Welsh side. And I think the relationship is quite good at the moment. They get allowed time off when they have to. It just makes a better working relationship. I think there will have to be central contracts because if the benefactor decides to pull out, you know, they’ll have to be centrally contracted. At the moment, I don’t think there could be a much better relationship (with the Regions) even if they were centrally contracted. I think some of the responsibility has to be give to the players because sometimes if they say we can only play a certain number of games and they know whether they should be playing. You know, if you haven’t played enough, you need to play yourself back into form. If you’re tired, you need a rest. Only a player can determine that. The thing is, it’s the TV money isn’t it? That’s the main income of the Union. It’s a very difficult one really. "Show less«

So we won’t really know what went on. The only thing I can add to this is that Warren Gatland will bring maturity and discipline into the Welsh squad and I think that will benefit everyone. I do feel that there’s a slightly soft culture in Welsh rugby. You know, you have to have respect for and a little bit of fear of your coach and I think that needs to be looked at. I think we need to be a little bit tougher on each other and asks tougher questions of each other. "Show less«

He said it, so he put his neck on the block very early. So no-one had to say anything because everyone knew that was the case. He said: “Judge me on the world cup.” Well, we all said he made mistakes and had to go, simple as that. "Show less«
