The first time round, Gatlandball was revolutionary and not many teams had the strategies to counter it. It was brilliant, the players were decent, and there was a swell in Welsh rugby that felt like every game was a RWC final.
Problem is, the world's gotten wise to Gatland's tricks now, and whereas he's still an undeniably great coach, the tactics are oldskool, the players are great but uninspiring, and the Millennium Stadium was deathly quiet - even the anthem wasn't particularly loud.
I personally think Gats should go, but then the next question is substantially tougher - who next?
