Warren Gatland has strengthened his coaching group for the Rugby World Cup by adding former Wales openside Robin Sowden-Taylor to the strength and conditioning team.
Wales were recently dealt a setback when head of physical performance Paul Stridgeon was released early from his contract for personal reasons. Former Wales hooker Huw Bennett will step into Stridgeon's shoes by heading the S&C department, and will now be assisted by Sowden-Taylor.
The 40-year-old, who won eight caps for Wales, is well respected among the playing group having been head of S&C at Cardiff for more than seven years.
