Rob Howley still under contract but will not coach for rest of Six Nations – WRU

Rob Howley will not be part of Wales’ coaching team for Guinness Six Nations fixtures against Ireland, Scotland and England.

The Welsh Rugby Union said in a statement that Howley remains under contract with them but will not be involved for the rest of the tournament.

The announcement comes just two days after head coach Warren Gatland left his post by mutual agreement.

Cardiff boss Matt Sherratt will be in charge on an interim basis for the rest of the Six Nations campaign, which Wales began with defeats against France and Italy.

Howley, a coaching mainstay during Gatland’s first reign in charge of Wales, returned to the staff as an assistant ahead of last year’s Six Nations.

Sherratt, who takes over the squad following Cardiff’s United Rugby Championship clash against Connacht on Saturday, has called up three players.
