Shaun Edwards tells Gatland the first person he should appoint and predicts he's 'on the phone to him'

Shaun Edwards has told Warren Gatland his first task as Wales coach should be to bring back Rob Howley.

Gatland this week completed a sensational return to Welsh rugby, taking over the reins from Wayne Pivac who was relieved of his duties after a poor calendar year was punctuated by embarrassing defeats to Italy and Georgia in Cardiff.

It was the result against the latter that did for Pivac, with the Welsh Rugby Union holding a review into the autumn campaign that ultimately led to his sacking.
