RUGBY UNION

WAYNE PIVAC hailed the job of Wales rugby boss as “one of the biggest in the game” after being named as successor to Warren Gatland.

The Scarlets’ coach (above) takes over after the 2019 World Cup, with fellow Kiwi Gatland pledging to do “everything I can to help him”.

Gatland praised the Welsh Rugby Union for acting quickly, saying: “We can now focus on RWC 2019.”
