Gatland: Lions job would be an honour

WALES coach Warren Gatland has revealed his interest in leading the British and Irish Lions’ 2009 tour of South Africa.

And Gatland would also like his right-hand man during Wales’ RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam success, Shaun Edwards, to be involved.

New Zealander Gatland, 44, has revived Wales after a dismal World Cup, and he insists he will remain focused on that job should a Lions position come along.
