In other words - Dour piece of shit blames everyone else for his averageness.

Exactly but on the plus side every time this cretin opens his mouth and the all blacks job gets further out of reach .

This is nothing new from Gatland. Remember him carrying on like a farking idiot after the Carter high tackle. Lost all respect for the prick after that. I don't care what the guy may have accomplished for Waikato back in the early 90s. He's a fuckwit and I hope the ABs bury him.

@taniwharugby whinge articles featuring quotes by nobodies make my nipples hard

calling in the big guns for comments now!
Surely getting a out of context comment from BOD would be best?
Most of that bile trawl by stuff is really a re-hash of Matt Stevens comments, and a nothing to see here by Clive, Gats you're doing it wrong.
Matt Stevens obviously didn't notice what Faletau was doing in that 'incident'.
-
I'm not nearly as offended as Gregor Paul seems to be, coaches are going to call other sides dirty from time to time - I'm pretty sure Henry and Hansen both called out players laying shots on McCaw.
Historically, talking shit has been a mistake for opposing sides. Tends to wake them up a little.
-
Gatland's comments appear to be in response to Kaino's actions on one particular occasion. And I have no problem with him saying something. In that instance, Kaino can't say he is trying to charge down the kick from Murray, or tackle him.
The other stuff is all part of the game as kickers get hassled all the time.

Was that the ruck where the Lions 8 pushed Kaino over?

@Toddy I don't know.
I just remember Kaino coming from the opposite side to charge down a right-footed box kick from Murray but he never got there in time so ended up collecting Murray's feet after he had already kicked the ball.
I'm sure someone can make a gif of it to confirm.
-
Look at the arms. Full commitment to a charge-down.

-
yeah nothing to complain about in that one, Faletau has made it 'worse' if you could argue that was bad at all.

Making contact with the non kicking foot , the planted foot , at the time of kicking is a penalty in the NRL now , deemed dangerous ,
Be interesting to see if they do the same in union

slightly different aims and actions between the two games though. In league you've generally got a guy with a 10m run up going flat out at the kicker, trying to pressure a mistake, and rarely trying to charge the ball (6 again!). Can't say I've seen a heap of injuries from charging kicks in rugby to require a rule tweak
-
Yeah prob right , league you had guys cannoning in at the kickers legs ,
And usually the million dollar playmakers

In fact the better tactic would be to start him at 15 and then move him to 10 when things open up a bit.
Was interesting in the aftermatch interview with him and TJ, he said he doesn't mind moving form 10 to 15, but doesn't like moving from 15 to 10
