Warren Gatland was this week named the BBC’s ’Coach of the Year and signed a new contract with Wales to go beyond the 2019 RWC. We thought we better give you some more of the man of the moment.

Once your players have gained a bit of confidence and belief in their technique, you can up the tempo and intensity so when it comes to the game, they can do it naturally.”
