#Rob Howley

The cameras were rolling for their behind-the-scenes series at Wales' Vale of Glamorgan training base on Tuesday and they were only focused on one man. Warren Gatland did not disappoint those behind the lens. The New Zealander's words were softly spoken, but each and every one carried weight. Gatland reserved his strongest thoughts for when the…

Warren Gatland believes that Rob Howley should be forgiven for breaching betting rules and been allowed his opportunity to possibly rejoin Wales' coaching staff. ormer Wales attack coach Howley was sent home from Japan on the eve of the 2019 World Cup and he subsequently received an 18-month ban from rugby, nine of which were suspended. Howley has…

Warren Gatland is ready to kick-start his second stint as Wales head coach with a bang. During his first tenure as Wales boss, Gatland stuck with the same lieutenants throughout the entirety of his 12 years in charge. If people thought it was going to be a case of same old Gatland this time around, they were wrong with the New Zealander selecting…

Warren Gatland set his sights on upsetting world No 1 Ireland after completing his Wales coaching set-up for the Six Nations with the appointments of Alex King and Mike Forshaw.

Welsh rugby heads into the new year with one headline-grabbing decision having been made, but lots of other issues still to be resolved. The autumn internationals marked the end of the road for Wayne Pivac as Wales coach and a return to the helm for Warren Gatland. You never like to see anyone lose their job and Pivac is a decent bloke who gave it…

I am surprised England sacked Eddie Jones because he has a brilliant record at World Cups and it is only nine months away. He reached the final with Australia in 2003, won it with the Springboks in 2007, did incredible things with Japan in 2015 and was runner-up with England in 2019. He is a big tournament guy and I don't remember many coaches…
