Definitely Adam Jones. Tandy has done alright with Scotland to be fair.

I just wonder what the deal is with Gatlands supporting staff. Will he keep any of them?

Sean Edwards speculated that Gatland would have Stephen Jones and Howley working together. Sounds a bit odd to me.

I think it’s likely that Howley will be back though.

It seems to me that the WRU would be justified in calling the next 12 months a crisis period and throwing all restraints out of the window, including the 60 cap rule. A temporary suspension until the end of 2023 might be easier to accept than immediate permanent abolition.

I think there has to be some dispensation to recognise that players are being seriously messed about and it would be almost insane for them to turn down a stable offer.

What's really galling me is that the Dragons have worked hard to show progress and now that is in jeopardy because of this ongoing row.
