Cabanga ukukhala uma uWarren Gatland engakhethanga u-Alun Wyn Jones eqenjini eligijimayo leB & I Lions emdlalweni wabo namaBhokobhoko! Abathembekile bebengafuna ukubona izimfihlo zikaGatland zijikeleza kancane ku-avini we-microwave.
Uma ucabanga ngakho, (ngasese eceleni), uGatland ubengenakho ukuzikhethela – kodwa kungaba elinye lamaphutha angahle alahlekisele izivakashi emdlalweni wazo wokuqala.
Umbhoxo kuleli zinga awubekezeleli lutho ngaphandle kwesimo esihle kakhulu.
Ukululama kukaJones ekulimaleni kwakhe ehlombe kuye kwachazwa njengokuthokozisayo futhi impela kungumzamo ongaphezu kokwenza. Kodwa ukuqina ngokwanele ukungena ne-laptop yakho endizeni kuhlukile emzameni odingekayo wokubhekana no-Eben Etzebeth obaleka kakhulu nebhola elifakwe ngaphansi kwengalo yakhe.
Enye indlela engathathwa uGatland ukuthatha abadlali abadlala umdlalo obizwa ngokuthi owandayo, ngoba banamandla okuqala futhi bangabagijimi abahle uma bephethe ibhola ngesandla.
UGatland njengomqeqeshi, kanye neB&I Lions uqobo, bahamba phambili uma bedlala umdlalo onzima eduze kwe-scrum. Uma ngabe uDan Biggar noma u-Owen Farrell bezofuna ukuphaselwa ngabadlali abathathu emuva, bazoba senkingeni. UDuhan van der Merwe, u-Anthony Watson noStuart Hogg bonke bangabadlali abanesibindi, abanethalente, kodwa abakwazi ukusala ngaphandle baze bome.
Futhi ekukhetheni labo badlali, uGatland ukhiphe ikati esikhwameni. Kukhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi uhlela ukuwudlala kanjani umdlalo. Uma lokho kusobala kunoma ngubani okhathalela ukucabanga ngakho, cabanga ukuthi kulula kanjani ukuthi uJacques Nienaber noRassie Erasmus bakubone lokho – futhi sonke siyazi ukuthi bakulungele kangakanani ukushuka amakati!
Ngemuva kokusho konke lokho, ungalindeli ukunqoba kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi. Kuzoba seduze, futhi kuzoba kubi! Umncintiswano wokubukelwa.
