Wig set to cross the bridge?

Gavin Maris, writing for the Telegraph, claims Wales are eyeing up a move for England's scrum coach Graham Rowntree.

"Wales believed to be weighing up a move to lure England assistant coach Graham Rowntree to bolster Warren Gatland's backroom team ahead of the 2012 Six Nations tournament.

Gatland, who worked with the former England prop as part of the British and Irish Lions coaching team in South Africa in 2009, is believed to be keen on appointing Rowntree as his forwards coach, with incumbent Robin McBryde expected to part company with the Welsh Rugby Union in the next few weeks.

It is understood that Rowntree, one of the few England coaches to emerge from England’s dreadful Rugby World Cup campaign with an enhanced reputation, may also be targeted by Scotland head coach and former England coach Andy Robinson."
