Warren Gatland insists he should have been allowed to re-appoint Rob Howley as Wales attack coach after being prevented from doing so by senior Welsh Rugby Union figures.
Howley, who was banned for 18 months for breaching World Rugby's betting laws, was Gatland's preferred option as attack coach.
Howley was an integral part of Gatland's backroom team for the entirety of his first 12 years in charge of Wales with the pair winning four Six Nations titles, and reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2011.
