Wales coach Rob Howley has been sent home from World Cup for alleged betting offences Gatland looks on alongside Howley during a Six Nations match against England in 2019 So, for all the damning scrutiny which has often forced him to dodge slings and arrows, Howley has been a respected figure within the international game. Howley of Wales releases the ball during the Lloyds TSB Six Nations Championship in 2001 Wales head coach Gatland talks to Howley during a Six Nations match in 2009 Only time will tell if they rally, circle the wagons and harness a siege mentality.
