Bullish Gatland slams De Villiers on ‘mixed messages’

WARREN GATLAND yesterday questioned the mixed messages emerging from the South African camp ahead of Saturday’s opening Test in Bloemfontein.

Springbok head coach Peter de Villiers has been causing confusion by issuing conflicting predictions on what tactics Wales will use after selecting Stephen Jones at fly-half.

Gatland is confused by De Villiers’ changing views and noted his ambition for the world champions to run the Grand Slam winners “off their feet”.
