Yeah. But look, who ever we pick whenever we pick them will be a gamble. God knows, Harlequins are well aware of this. I'd argue it was a mistake to go back to Wales, going back is often a bad idea. Plus the special situation of the clubs vs the WRFU, the politics, the hoops to jump through. I didn't leap at the idea of Gats originally, but give me a list of three better coaches available to Harlequins.

The Tabai Matson situation seems to have knackered any chance of a Oz/NZ applicant. There's always South Africa. Who is available and fits the role? How long can we wait to discover this diamond in the rough we've overlooked till now? 

I think we could have guaranteed not being in the playoffs pretty early on this year.
