              Weird that that news about Gatland has not yet been announced/confirmed by the Chiefs or NZR.

                Great news if true.

                The big story will be who Gatland's assistants are because one of them will have to assume the role of coach in 2021.

                I'm not sure if Matson, Barnes and White (plus Randle) also have contracts until 2020 or Gatland would be free to bring in his own coaching team.
                @Stargazer ??

                      Is he going to play Warrenball or adapt a style to NZ. I assume he'll play a mix.

                        If we are hard to score against, with a rock solid set piece, then DMAc and ALB can take care of the rest.

                        Type of coach that might attract players as well?

                        I'll still wait for something more official

                        Hopefully the drop in pressure from being in charge of Wales/Lions will remove the grumpy from his ass.

                            @Nepia When Gatland coached Waikato the backs played very expansively while the forwards were well-drilled.

                            It comes down to the cattle you have to work with.

                                  I think alot of what Gatland says has a touch of humour in it, it just aint funny when French refs have a deal!

                                    He has moved beyond Warrenball with Wales, so I'm sure he'll do the same with the Chiefs

                                        Next priority for NZR is to get Joe Schmidt to Blues in 2021

                                        Joe gets a year off to spend time with family in NZ

                                        Leon gets to learn off a maestro and NZ rugby keeps more rugby IP

                                          love how Cooper annouces his 'retirement' then Gatland already lined up to get in there.. that would have been months in the making with all the moving parts to make that happen...

                                          I would have thought if the chiefs wanted cooper to stick around they would have offered him an assistant coach position cause you know "My passion is ‘hands-on’ on-the-field coaching"..

                                          so obviously wanted him gone.
