Shane Williams uncovers about Warren Gatland, Steve Hansen and which mentor he favored

It is a contender for modest representation of the truth of the year to propose Warren Gatland and Steve Hansen don't precisely appear to be best mates. 

The match are stubborn Kiwis and champs to their center, yet there seems little love lost between them. 

They are remarkable mentors, be that as it may, with flatware in the pantry to demonstrate to such an extent. 

I played under them both and am frequently asked how very I rate them. Here's my interpretation of the issue 

Both are simple administrators who don't put up with imbeciles however they will likewise tune in to players. 

With Hansen, there was dependably the feeling that he would have the last say. 

Going to see him was much the same as heading for your director's examination. He would urge you to stand up, at that point make an approach the issue. 

The renowned scene with Dayfdd James said a ton in regards to his man-administration style. Steve needed players to remain in the group lodging yet Daf sneaked home for the night and returned at a young hour the following morning. A previous policeman, Steve went out to Daf's auto, checked the motor was warm and that was that — case shut. 

In decency, Welsh rugby was in somewhat of a state at the time and we as a whole should have been more exchanged on. Mentalities should have been unique thus perhaps Steve needed to make us more taught. He had a dry comical inclination however took no messing. 

There wasn't such an extensive amount a tyranny under Gats. He would accept what you were stating and was really arranged to acknowledge exhortation. 

I really got the chance to like the two men. 

Possibly it was on account of I was at an alternate phase of my vocation, somewhat more seasoned thus more sure about how I managed individuals, however I discovered Gats immensely congenial. At the point when Hansen started as Wales mentor I was as yet a child, truly. 

This is more critical than many people might suspect in light of the fact that a mentor sets the tone amid the development to any diversion and his players take their prompts from him. In that sense, a sure mentor who says the correct things is extremely valuable. 

Both Hansen and Gatland were great in that regard. 

You generally knew they would have the backs of their players. 

On the off chance that Steve had seen a player being assaulted in the press, he would state: "I am not making them say that in regards to you. I am will put it right." And he would put it right. 

Gats is additionally furiously defensive of his players. 

He bears everything to all onlookers than Hansen. It was anything but difficult to tell when he was in an awful inclination — he would take feedback of his group and players by and by. 

At times he may state something truly disputable, however that runs with the region. 

These are individuals you'd need to bat for you.
