GATS STEALS THE SHOW ON FLAT DAY FOR WELSH

WARREN GATLAND made 10 changes for his side’s visit to Rome, and it showed as an experimental Welsh outfit stuttered to 26-15 win over the Azzurri. The best performance of the afternoon came from Gatland when he faced the media after the game. ‘If we play like that against England, it could be embarrassing,’ Gatland admitted, as the Kiwi looked ahead to that looming clash in Cardiff on February 23. Say what you like about Gats but his record speaks for itself and he looks to have Wales primed for his final year in the top job. His soundbites will be missed as well.
