Warren Gatland’s Lions Experience Key For Quick Turnaround

Warren Gatland is the head coach of Wales. He has worked under limited time frames in the past with the British & Irish Lions. The Welsh Rugby Union will decide on a new coach close to the 2023 World Cup in France.

Warren Gatland has been the Lions head coach for the last three tours of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. He has limited time to prepare for World Cup and Six Nations. Wales are 12/1 to win the title in the 2023 Six nations.

Gatland will look to his experienced players for the 2023 Six Nations campaign. Justin Tipuric, Dan Biggar and Warren Gatland's Lions experience will be key for Wales. Wales managed just one win in the Six nations last season. They lost to Italy in Cardiff. They will play France, Ireland and the reigning champions in this year's tournament. The World Cup is taking place in France in 2018.
