The Warren Gatland interview: My verdict on Wayne Pivac's team and why I miss coaching in Wales

Warren Gatland is back at the old office. Just a few metres away from the Principality Stadium coaches box in which he used to sit he appears - this time donning a cap and gown.

The former Wales boss, who spent over a decade on these shores and won three Grand Slams, a further Six Nations title, reaching two World Cup semi-finals, is back in the capital to receive an honorary fellowship from Cardiff University. It is a recognition of what he achieved during his time here.

Gatland returned to New Zealand soon after finishing with Wales in 2019 and this is the first time he has returned since the Covid-19 pandemic eased. The Kiwi is in the middle of a mini-tour of sorts. A stop-off in London to catch up with friends and some time in the Lake District, before heading over to Ireland to see some more familiar faces.
