The Western Mail's Andy Howell reports that Rob Howley is set to sign a new Wales deal while England assistant coach Graham Rowntree is also on their radar.
"The Western Mail understands an announcement on Howley, who has turned down the chance to join Bath to remain with [head coach Warren] Gatland and Wales, is due shortly.
"With kicking coach Neil Jenkins already on board as a member of the WRU staff, it just leaves the position of Gatland’s forwards coach Robin McBryde to resolve.
"McBryde’s contract runs out after the Six Nations and we understand the WRU are not planning to hold talks with him until the new year.
"Gatland is an admirer of the work McBryde does with the forwards, but intriguingly Wales are being linked in the London media with a move to lure highly-rated Rowntree across the Severn Bridge to bolster the WRU coaching set-up further."
