Warren Gatland admitted he is making a gamble in picking just two scrum-halves in the Wales World Cup squad
Mon 21 Aug 2023 12.40 BSTWarren Gatland admitted on Monday that there was an element of risk involved after bucking convention and naming only two scrum‑halves in Wales’s World Cup squad.
Gatland said: “We’ve wanted a bit more cover in the back three. If we do pick up injuries, it’s not too far of a distance to go [to bring in a replacement].” “There’s not much point going if we don’t have the belief that we can achieve that,” Lake told the Welsh language broadcaster Newyddion S4C shortly before Gatland played down that fighting talk. “It’s one step at a time,” Gatland said. “You don’t look too far ahead. We’re just focused on getting out of our pool.”
The same was not true for Taine Plumtree, the New Zealand-born lock who was forced off the park against England last week with a shoulder knock. “He’s really unlucky,” Gatland said of the second-row.
