Read our privacy policy Warren Gatland believes that Rob Howley should be forgiven for breaching betting rules and be allowed the opportunity to possibly rejoin Wales’ coaching staff. Former Wales attack coach Howley was sent home from Japan on the eve of the 2019 World Cup and he subsequently received an 18-month ban from rugby, nine of which were suspended. “I just think I would like to see him involved at the highest possible level again in the future.” Gatland has named a 37-man squad for this season’s Six Nations, which Wales kick off against Ireland in Cardiff on February 4. The indications are he should be up and running for the England game.” Gatland, meanwhile, said he is looking forward to a World Cup clash against Australia in Lyon on September 24, when former England boss Eddie Jones will be in the Wallabies’ corner as their new head coach.
