Jenkins ire at WRU over Ruddock Lions u-turn

SCARLETS coach Gareth Jenkins has taken a swipe at the Welsh Rugby Union for allowing Wales coach Mike Ruddock to join the Lions tour.

All the Wales coaching staff were initially barred from joining Clive Woodward’s backroom set-up. Because of the WRU’s stance, Jenkins was set to be the only Welsh member.

“They were adamant they did not want any of their backroom staff considered for the tour, so it puzzles me why they suddenly want Mike to go,” he said.
