Gatland commits to Wales until the next World Cup

WALES coach Warren Gatland has committed himself to the job until the end of the 2011 World Cup despite his feelings on the club-versus-country row over the release of players.

The New Zealander suggested last week he had been forced to consider his position after struggling to get the four regions to make their international players available for a three-day Wales camp.

It caused a political storm within Welsh rugby which came to a head last week when the Welsh Rugby Union won a High Court decision to get the players released by the regions. That allowed Gatland to have three-day camp this week with most of his 32-man squad.
