WRU chief executive Abi Tierney stated in December after the review’s completion that Gatland would keep his job for the Six Nations, but his backroom staff would be bolstered. “First of all, I would like to thank Harlequins for the opportunity to join the Wales coaching setup for the Six Nations," Jones said.
