Ken Owens on scrum v after the match yesterday, noted that Welsh regional academy players used to be paid as professionals, trained full time and were fed 6-7 meals per day to bulk up. He said that all of that stopped several years ago. We’re now seeing the result of those decisions.

Perhaps Gatland should but it won’t make a scrap of difference. Gatland leaving won’t suddenly make the players bigger, faster or more skillful. It won’t give them the experience to overcome some of those shortcomings.
