WRU stand by their man

Wales coach WarrenGatland has arrived back in Wales to find WRU boss Roger Lewis insisting he won’t be a pre-World Cup fall guy. The Western Mail's Andy Howell reports.

"Wales have a dismal record of firing coaches in the build-up to World Cups – and Gatland’s team face a demanding schedule ahead of the 2011 tournament in New Zealand.

"But Lewis expects Wales to do well in the autumn against the southern hemisphere super-powers and also shine in the Six Nations tournament that follows.

“Will Warren coach Wales at the next World Cup?” said Lewis. “Am I a betting man? You bet. You have got to put a judgement on it. I’m confident the results we will achieve in the autumn and in the Six Nations will not make this question relevant at all.”
