Warren Gatland admits Wales squad in shock over Rob Howley bombshell as it's revealed WRU had known for a week

The Telegraph  

Warren Gatland has vowed a defiant Wales will not be derailed by Rob Howley’s shock World Cup departure and will thrive once again in the wake of yet more off-the-field controversy. The Welsh Rugby Union has revealed it was first made aware of Howley’s suspected breach of World Rugby’s betting regulations – for which he has been sent home from the tournament in Japan – last Wednesday. On Wednesday, Gatland admitted the bombshell news on Howley had sent shockwaves through his team ahead of their World Cup opener with Georgia. Howley, the 48-year-old assistant coach, left Wales’ World Cup camp on Monday and will be investigated over a suspected breach of World Rugby’s regulation six.
