Attack the only way for Rob Howley and Wales

It’s not often a team’s style of play is named after their coach, but Warren Gatland’s success with Wales quickly saw that become the case. 

Sadly for the New Zealander – despite Six Nations titles, Grand Slams and a World Cup semi-final – so-called ‘Warrenball’ didn’t always create positive headlines.

The argument put forward by critics of Gatland’s approach was Wales’ way of doing things was dull, unimaginative and based purely on the need for raw power to cross the gain line.
