Dawson: ‘Warrenball’ is a myth
Matt Dawson says the infamous ‘Warrenball’ style of rugby no longer exists.
Warrenball is a term used to describe British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland’s preferred style of play, but Dawson believes this is a myth.
Speaking during the Dawson and Mehrtens Rugby show, the former Lions scrum-half says: “I played Warrenball with Wasps, but I don’t see it now [with the Lions].�
Dawson believes the media are responsible for consistently attributing the term to Gatland and his teams, but admits he cannot see “what style of play� the current Lions side are trying to implement.
