Wales boss Gatland set for Lions role

Warren Gatland looks set to be confirmed next month as head coach of the 2013 British and Irish Lions.

Wales’ double Grand Slam and RBS 6 Nations title-winning mastermind will be interviewed for the post along with Ireland boss Declan Kidney and Scotland’s Andy Robinson.

But it is thought that New Zealander Gatland’s appointment is viewed as a formality for the three-Test trip to Australia.
