GAT HOPING TO LEAVE ON A HIGH

WARREN GATLAND says he is desperate to leave Wales “in a good state” when he departs after the World Cup. As he enters his final 12 months in charge of the team he took over in 2007, Gatland (above) said: “As the year goes on, it will come home to roost that this is my final year. “It’s my last year and it’s a pressured year because you want to leave on a high and say the national team is in a good state. “The two tournaments that mean the most are the Six Nations and the World Cup, and you want to do as well as you can in those. “It would be brilliant to win a Six Nations again and go on and make the final of the World Cup, or potentially win the World Cup. “That’s the whole focus of the next 12 months.”
