Warren Gatland is 'leading contender' for Lions job

Wales have won three Six Nations titles, including two Grand Slams, and reached a World Cup semi-final since Gatland was appointed in late 2007.

Warren Gatland has been described as the “leading contender” to coach the British and Irish Lions in New Zealand next year.

Wales head coach Gatland was in charge of the Lions’ Test series-winning tour of Australia in 2013.
