    <p>I feel stupider having read that article. Whoever calculated those comparison numbers must have been smoking something pretty great at the time.</p>

      <p>Gatland has done well in the 6N no argument about that, but outside of that his record is pretty poor barring the Lions. Hansen has been there and pretty much done that all over. Just a crap article and I'd think that had Gatland bothered to read it he would be cringing.</p>

        <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
        <p>Plenty of weight was given to Gatland's three Six Nations triumphs and 2013 Lions series win, with Hansen edging the silverware category by just one point (9-8) despite his World Cup successes, trio of Rugby Championship titles, Bledisloe Cup dominance and individual accolades.</p>
        </blockquote>
        <p> </p>
        <p>Gatland doesn't even deserve to be on the same page as Hansen when talking silverware, but then I guess if you weight things get a result you want...</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>My sons U10 rugby team went unbeaten for 2.5 seasons, if I weight those seasons heavily, ignore the age grade they play, take into account the cattle he has to work with vs what I had, I am easily as good as Hansen!</p>

              I honestly couldn't give a shit if they want to talk up Gatland. He's done very well with Wales and it's great that they love him up there.

                <p>The article is written for a local audience, so take it with a large grain of salt.  If you want to compare apples with apples the only fair comparison is to look at Gatland's and Hansen's respective records with Wales.  Gatland wins there.</p>

                      @bovidae and I think a player saying she is still around and therefore a threat carries more weight than a coach who tries to convince people she has gone...like telling your kids about the boogie monster!

                        She's been at my place, we have a few beers or a glass of wine on a Saturday, listen to some anthems, talk about winning percentages, reminisce about Richie, that sort of thing. All very romantic.

                        She does have an issue with Wayne Barnes, Eddie Jones, Clive Woodward, some waitress called Suzie, and several others who have tried to kill her, but she is alive and well. She has gone to see an Irish friend it seems but she will be back at mine before the 9th June.

                          It's reassuring to know that Aura has had a good off-season. I expect she'll be busy again this year and in top form come November!

                            Unfaithful cow been flirting with England ...

                            "England are very close to completely losing their aura of invincibility, and are starting to head on a downward trajectory."

                              "Aura of invincibility" under Eddie Jones!? Fake news.

                                I recall their excellent 2001-2003 team. That seems a long time to be holding onto an aura of invincibility.

                                Coming on top of successive Six Nations losses to Scotland, France and Ireland, Moore sees the looming tour of South Africa as a crucial period for the team before they return to polish their final push ahead of next year's World Cup in England.

                                Wait, what?

                                    After sweeping all before them over the last year, and winning matches they deserved to lose, you'd have to say that Ireland are developing a bit of an aura ...

                                    If they can sweep the Aussies (which they have every chance of doing), then that will only be enhanced.

                                          They would go into the WC with a similar look to them as England in 03
