Gatland was booted upstairs to a DoR role on his return in 2022, which he then left to rejoin Wales.
The following year, McMillan again took the Chiefs to the Super Rugby Pacific final. And again the next year.
Overall, McMillan's win rate with the Chiefs stands at 74%.
Gatland's was 29%.

Lots of news today on the landslide at Cwmtillery & sink hole at former colliery site. Troubling times, but it's a great community and beautiful area. The images show the lake in 1972 (Chris Gwilliam) & now. If you can get along to the wonderful Caffi Tyleri by the lake, a warm welcome awaits.

The only purpose of the WRU board now is to contrive new excuses to hold an internal review for whatever new crisis has unfolded that month,
Thus ensuring they never actually have to come up with solutions to the endless crises they’re constantly doing reports and reviews on.
Neat.

It's a good job Welsh rugby isn't desperate for strategic direction.
Imagine if the strategy due last summer doesn't appear until next year.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking seeing the flooding in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
No one deserves this, but these communities have experienced floods multiple times in recent years
Many people there are already making do on low incomes.
It is also one of the friendliest and welcoming places in the UK.

What utter nonsense. “Sometimes the journey is equally important as the destination.”
Let’s ask ourselves why so many senior players have retired in the past couple of years, and also then ask the WRU and Gatland why they didn’t prepare for this.
Or maybe we can just blame it on youngsters.
