Wales coach Warren Gatland has told his World Cup hopefuls they have a “moral responsibility” to the Welsh shirt in the wake of the Mike Phillips affair. The Western Mail's Jon Doel reports.
“It won’t affect Mike’s selection chances for the World Cup,” he said.
“But it’s about the public humiliation of being out at that time in the morning and we have taken some action.
“Legally he has done nothing wrong, but morally, once you put that jersey on, you have a social responsibility to that jersey. We have made the players very much aware of that.
“Maybe 10 years ago you might have got away with such things, but with Facebook and Twitter and camera phones, you can’t do anything these days.
“I think the players are more aware now just how careful they have to be, particularly when they’re going out.”
